Jobe Valves, Vortex Differential Float Valve. DescriptionThe Vortex Differential float valve is ideal for use in water tanks which are filled by a pressure system controlled water pump. The valve gives a level difference which is adjustable from 50mm to 2.5m to minimize starting and stopping of the pumping system.ApplicationsMaintaining Water Levels in:• Water Storage Tanks• Water Cisterns• Irrigation ApplicationsPrinciple of Operation• The valve should be mounted at the top of the tank using a threaded tank inlet fitting.• 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 least one bar above the running pressure. Pressure Range 1 Bar – 10 Bar (15psi-150 psi)Features• High flow• Easily adjustable water level differentials between on and off (50mm - 2.5 mdifferentials obtainable).• Reduces pump operation to a minimum.• Valve unscrews from tail for easy Valve Access.• Ideal for all makes and models of tanks. Selecting the right inlet size: Selecting the right size inlet is very important to the performance of your float valve. The inlet of the float valve should match your supply plumbing. For instance if your supply plumbing is 1" you will get no better performance from a 2" valve. Your flow rate will always be limited by the smallest pipe. Always match your float valve inlet size to your water supply pipe size. If you intend on upgrading your water supply plumbing at some point you can always purchase a different tail.
