Pentair Index Plate Kit with O-Ring for StaRite Plastic Slide Backwash Valve | 14930-0032

Pentair is often considered the "gold standard" for pool professionals, and for good reason. Founded in 1966 (originally by five inventors making high-altitude balloons!), the company has evolved into the global leader in smart, sustainable water solutions. For the DIY homeowner, Pentair represents the intersection of rugged durability and silicon valley-tier technology. They pioneered the Variable Speed Pump revolution with the IntelliFlo®, saving American pool owners millions in energy costs. Today, their ecosystem focuses heavily on automation, allowing you to control your pump, heater, lights, and chemistry from a single app. While they are a favorite among professional builders, their "EC" (E-Commerce) line of equipment allows homeowners to access pro-grade technology with valid warranties for DIY installation.
