What solenoid valves do in a working system In most systems, a solenoid works alongside an AquaMatic K52 diaphragm valve or an AquaMatic V42 diaphragm valve by managing pressure in the upper diaphragm chamber. Solenoid valves do not directly control process flow in AquaMatic diaphragm valve systems. Instead, they control pressure. That pressure determines whether […]
When designing or upgrading a commercial or industrial water filtration or water softening system, selecting the right stager controller is critical. The controller determines how efficiently your diaphragm valve nest operates, how adaptable your system is, and how precisely you can meet application demands. Two of the most recognized control platforms in the industry are […]
Selecting the right valve for water and wastewater facilities directly affects system reliability, maintenance workload, and long-term operating cost. Valves operate under fluctuating pressures as pumps cycle, tanks fill and drain, and demand shifts throughout the day. Many systems carry suspended solids, treatment chemicals, disinfectants, and temperature swings that accelerate elastomer fatigue and metal corrosion. […]
What Are Seal Kits and Why They Matter AQ Matic diaphragm and seal kits are an important component in maintaining the life of your valve. Over time, seals can degrade for a variety of reasons. If your valve has evidence of a small leak (liquid or air service), we will typically recommend purchasing a diaphragm […]
Signs Your Diaphragm Valve Needs to be Repaired or Replaced In any high-demand industrial system, diaphragm valves are critical components that regulate flow and protect against contamination or backflow. However, like any part exposed to pressure, corrosive media, or repeated cycles, diaphragm valves can fail—often without obvious external signs. Recognizing the early indicators of industrial valve failure helps […]
