can the valve be open so water flows in both directions

No that would totally defeat the purpose of a backflow valve. The valves sole purpose is to prevent reverse flow.

The purpose of the valve is to prevent back flow into the house...it is a one way valve so it cannot have flow in both directions.

Yes there are 5 separate settings on a valve you pull in and out depending no the desired mixture.

No, it is only a diverter valve. It goes to one port or the other port, there is no closed or off position.It is a very well made diverter, heavy construction and will last for many years.

If you have already filled the tank and installed it high enough as specified on the instructions, then you may be not opening the valve to the correct direction, wich is counterclockwise. Please let me know if it helps.

The switch on the left determines from which of the two hose attachments the water will flow. It does not work terribly well as it didn't lock in place so it functioned best if you just wanted to momentarily send some water into one hose versus the other. I misread the description and thought you could program for two different hoses but that is not the case and only one can function at a time- no option for both to be open.

It's a three way valve!!It's not a check valve, but I guess you could use it with a secondary discharge pipe so you can manually switch the location of the discharge.

Yes it can face both directions. This item was perfect for my mom with disability.

They need to redesign so you can program the ports separately or open both ports at the same time to water two zones at the same time.

Yes! One head is in place and the other hooks at the top and can be taken out to be hand-held. You can turn the knob to allow water to come out of both heads at the same same. Hope that helps!

It moves from side to side. It stays open/water running until I push the lever back to the closed position. And the amount of flow can be controlled by positioning the lever where you want. In the picture, the lever is in the off position; you would push it to the left to cause the water to flow.

Yes. This diverter directs water flow to either spray heads or both at the same time.

Yes, remove the eight screws that hold the cover plate in place and rotate it so the stops are oriented the way you want. This valve can be used as either a single inlet, or single outlet

Yes, but don't change the orientation of the valve. Keep the valve with its (shower) output facing up so that the controls/bezel still operate normally.

Yes you can. Its actually a hinged door that can open either way, but you can also just remove it exposing the bays and filters.

yes. i often do just that. takes a bit of figuring out but by moving main lever to left or right you can control how much goes 2 each outlet. use handle 2 control volume of water.

Yes. It decreases water pressure to both, but they will work at the same time.

Yes that is how I have mine hooked up. We installed a valve it so we can control the flow of the water.
