TOTAL VALVE SOLUTIONS
Traditional irrigation systems use a multitude of pilot operated, self actuated, control valves for in-field pressure reduction, and flow control. However, there is much simpler equipment available, which is less expensive to set up, and provides long lasting maintenance-free irrigation operation. Pressure Reducing Valves PRVs are used wherever the distribution pressure is too high for…
DetailsPressure management has, for many years, been considered a “quick fix”, and “quick return on investment” way of reducing losses from leaks, and “excessive” consumption in distribution lines. The methodology of reducing pressures to lower levels during low consumption periods, has evolved into a sophisticated science, with accompanying costs, and complicated equipment. The two most…
DetailsA better Solution for Water reticulation in High Rise Buildings.Water is often supplied to high rise buildings by pumping from the municipal supply at ground level to storage tanks on the roof. Water then flows downward under gravity with off-takes at each floor. The problem of course is that the pressure at the bottom of…
DetailsMost of the original automatic air valves were based on having hollow balls as the most common choice for the floats. This was because their high buoyancy ensured they could easily create a seal when the water was displaced by air in the valve. Although the theory is sound, the original designs had flaws: In…
DetailsTraditional pump control valves are used for the following reasons: Soft start-up of the pump – the valve is initially in a closed position, and then slowly opens. This allows flow into the delivery line to be gradual, without creating water hammer or surge problems. Control of Pressure onto the pump – this ensures that…
