I think a guy on RC bought a morized butterfly valve or something like that by Hayward. They're pricey but from what I read the pricey ones are extremely reliable.
If you had a common suction 2 valves would work. I think ideally to create the cross flow you need a suction on one side and the output on the other so in this case you would need 4, which is what I was talking about.
