Manufactured from a crack-resistant polymer and re-engineered with wear-resistant bushings, a strengthened axle, and revised gearing, the assembly is intended to resist common failure modes and to perform in both fresh and saltwater pools. Installation is straightforward: secure the fittings and hoses tightly and the unit is ready to operate.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWill this G52 valve fit my pool cleaner model?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eYes—the MAKHOON valve is sized and shaped to be compatible with multiple popular pressure-side cleaner models.
