About the TankBuddy Valve

The patented TankBuddy Valve is a highly versatile and customizable water level control system designed to optimize the performance and efficiency of water tanks and related applications. This innovative valve is specifically engineered to work with water tanks that are filled by a running water source or a pressure-based system governed by a water pump. 

The key feature of the TankBuddy Valve is its adjustable design, which allows users to precisely set the desired level difference between when the water flow or pump system starts and stops – with a range spanning from just 50 millimeters all the way up to an impressive 2.5 meters. 

This adaptability is crucial, as it enables the TankBuddy Valve to minimize the frequency of the water flow or pump system kicking on and off, thereby reducing energy consumption and wear-and-tear on the components. The versatility of the TankBuddy Valve extends well beyond just water tanks, as it can be seamlessly integrated into a wide array of other water-based applications, such as water towers, irrigation systems, animal watering stations, spray equipment, and even swimming pools. 

Regardless of the specific use case, the TankBuddy Valve’s ability to easily adjust the start and stop water levels provides users with unparalleled control over their water management systems. And for added convenience, the Valve Seal Access System built into the device allows for quick and simple maintenance of the valve seal without the need for complex disassembly. 

Whether you’re looking to optimize the efficiency of a municipal water tower or just maintain consistent water levels in your backyard swimming pool, the TankBuddy Valve is a versatile and customizable solution that can be tailored to meet your unique needs.

  • High flow. Ideal for all makes and models of tanks.
  • Available inlet sizes. Keeps pump operation to a minimum.
  • Start and stop levels can be easily adjusted to give water level differentials from 50mm to 2.5m.
  • Valve Seal Access System for quick access to valve seal.

Installation

  • The valve mounts easily on the top side of the tank, allowing it to fit through thin-walled tanks or screw directly into a threaded tank inlet.
  • As the tank empties, the float descends along the cord until it reaches the level stopper. This triggers the immediate opening of the valve, allowing for full water flow.
  • When discharging the water, the valve runs continuously, causing the float to rise until it reaches the level adjuster.
    This lifts the arm and the valve shuts down.
  • Monitor the pump’s operating pressure as the tank fills. Then, set the pressure switch to shut off the pump at a pressure at least one bar higher than the observed running pressure.
