Solving Suction Loss with High-Quality Brass Foot Valves
Upgrading for maximum reliability! Today, we replaced a faulty spring-loaded foot valve that was causing suction loss and system inconsistency. Our team installed a high-quality brass foot valve with an integrated debris screen. Although this model features a very stiff spring, we optimized the suction line using ANC Technology’s specialized piping techniques.
Optimizing Pipe Configuration for Consistent Prime
By correctly pairing the pump’s power with the right valve and pipe configuration, we’ve ensured a strong and consistent prime. While there is a slight trade-off in water volume due to the pipe resizing, the gain in system stability is invaluable. A reliable water supply is the foundation of any successful automatic irrigation system.
