Hi.  As you'll see from the photo, our pump has three feeds: the main drain, the cleaner, and the skimmer.  Two of their valves have broken handles and I was going to replace them with 2-way Jandy-type valves.  However, is there a better way of doing this by reconfiguring the whole thing with at least one 3-way?  If there is, I can't visualize it!

Hello Ruprecht - We'd be glad to assist you. Below is the best diagram I could find. You'll notice that there are two skimmer lines. You could make one of those the cleaner.
