The video shows how to replace a Prntair backwash valve in a pool water filtration system. The current valve is having problems with the internal spider gasket shriveling up.
The installer explains his plan to cut out the old valve and install a new one, routing the pipes to the new ports on the sides. One pipe will go straight to the pump, while the other may need to be rerouted under another pipe.
He cuts out the old valve and begins installing the new one with PVC cement. The first pipe connection goes smoothly but he accidentally gouges the second pipe, so has to start over on that section.
It’s best to use purple primer and gray cement, which sets more slowly, he is able to remove the bad fitting and re-glue the joint. The final connections are made and test run, cleaning up the piping from the original valve installation.
In closing, the installer thanks viewers for watching and asks them to support his channel through the "Super Thanks" feature if they find the video helpful. He comments that making tutorial videos takes a significant time investment for a very small return on UA-cam ads alone.

Do you recommend the valve you used vs the penrtair fullflowXF?

There is a place for both and depending on the customers situation is how I choose which one. Some just prefer the hi-flow multiport valve because it’s easier then pulling up that handle. The push/pull is more “serviceable” as the gaskets and orings can be easily replaced, whereas the high flow has to be replaced when the gasket is worn. So to answer your question. Yes I recommend the push/pull in the long run, because it is more easily serviceable.
Thanks for watching and great question. 👍😎
