Eliminating the manual indexing valve is the whole idea, it's definitely a goner. The 'other' valve to the right of the filter *is* the hydraulic valve that I was referring to, it's sole purpose is to stop water from free-flowing out to the sprinkler heads whiles the pump is not running ... keep in mind that this is a 2" free flow or artesian well and water will free flow at the rate of 42 GPM without a pump and is a dedicated irrigation well that is not used for household usage.
