Not sure if this will work with your DIY motor, but thought I'd suggest a valve for you. It is a Jandy 3-way valve. They are made for swimming pools. I used one of these valves along with one of their actuators, and put together a transformer assembly that would power it (the actuators are...

I am going to attempt to make a DIY skimmer following plans found on the internet. I will be building an 8" skimmer, which calls for both 8" and 6" diameter PVC. I've called around locally and found a place that sells both; but the minimum purchase is 20' of each. I only need 5-6 foot of the...
