Looking for a Solenoid Valve to control the direction of my pool filter flow with pvc pipe. I need it to be 1.5" diameter but so far I am unable to find any.
It doesn't matter to me if its 12v or 120v, I just cannot seem to find a 1.5" Solenoid Valve for this project.
This is something that I found but it is only 1".
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Ebay shows 578 results! Surely one will work for you.

Is it a salt pool?
Are you using an electric chlorinator cell?
If so then go for an all plastic valve otherwise metal leached from the valve body could ruin the chlorinator electrodes.
Large diameter valves are usually rotary activated in order to reduce the water hammer, so do a search for "electric rotary valve".
^ This, or use an actuator attached to a ball valve (which is more or less the same thing)
