OVERVIEW
The Tank Buddy Valve is ideal for bringing in a well water or municipal water supply to your rain tank when the tank runs low. The valve gives a level difference which is adjustable from 2 in (50mm) up to 8 ft (2.5m) to minimize starting and stopping of running water or the pump system. The change in level is customizable.
FEATURES
- High flow
- Start and stop levels can be easily adjusted to give water level differentials from 2 in. up to 8 ft.
- Keeps pump operation to a minimum.
- Compatible with all makes and models of tanks.
- 1" (25mm) inlet size
PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
• The valve mounts at the top of the tank. It fits easily through a thin walled tank or screws into a threaded tank inlet.
• As the tank empties the weighted float travels down the cord until it hits the bottom stop. The valve then opens immediately to give a full flow.
• The valve now runs constantly and the weighted float rises until it hits the upper float stop. This lifts the arm and the valve shuts down.
• Observe the pressure that your pump runs at while the tank is filling. Set the pressure switch to turn the pump off at a pressure at least one bar above the running pressure.
