A valve for controlling the flow of water to a filter of a swimming pool has a tubular member with a main inlet opening at one end connectable to a suction hose, an outlet opening at its other end connectable to a suction source, an auxiliary opening intermediate its ends and a communication opening also intermediate its ends. A sleeve is located about the tubular member to be slidable therealong and is positioned on one side of the communication opening. A flexible bellows is secured at one end to the sleeve and at its other to the tubular member on the other side of the communication opening to define a varible volume chamber in communication with the interior of the tubular member via the communication opening. A closure is located in the auxiliary opening and is fast with the sleeve to be slidable therewith. A spring urges the sleeve into a position in which the auxiliary opening is substantially closed. |
