Asahi's metal-replacement positioning names aquaculture, aquariums, theme parks and cruise ships, and the general catalog carries a butterfly valve literally called Pool-Pro. ISO 5752 short-pattern face-to-face is the commercial hook: drops into existing metal-valve flanges in an older pool/aquarium plant room without repiping.

Asahi literally names a butterfly valve 'Pool-Pro' — the ISO 5752 short-pattern face-to-face on both Type-57 LIS and Type-55 IS is the commercial hook that matters in an older pool or aquarium plant room: it drops into the existing metal-valve flange spacing without repiping the whole mechanical room.
