Many thanks that is really useful - now I can label the "I"  as well.  Most people we know who have pools say they have 5 valves not six including our neighbour who also has a salt water pool - he also only has 5 valves so it is a mystery!  Thank you so much again.

F should be the Fondo valve.  When turned off (gojng across ghe pipe) it provides extra suction through the pool side skimmers and is used to help clean the pool.  

If not cleaning the pool it should be in the open position (laying along the pipe).  If you have a Pool Cleaner he/she will know and be able to advise...
