Float Valves

[JohnB 14]

Just a quick ? .. I am going to put a float valve on my water tank .. Most of the valves I see are 300 gallons per hour... So at only that that is 5 GPM .. Thats the same thing my machine puts out so if I run it steady out of a 60 gallon tank .. I will be close to the gpm limit of the float valve.. Anyone see any problem

Look at the hudson valve, you don't need one that big. Check pressuretek

I have used the Hudson valve for almost 2 years now and they work great.

I am about to move 2 of them from one tank to the larger tank so I can have 2 supply hoses running and not have to watch them constantly, that really slows down production having to worry about the tank having enough water, overflowing and having to go back to where you can see the tank and turn the water on and off all the time.

With the 2 Hudson valves I can run 2 machines and usually not worry about the water supply, just check it once in a while to make sure that you don't run out of water but you will not have to worry about overflowing anymore.

Most Tractor Supply stores carry them for $26.23. I am getting one in a couple of weeks...finally!
