Apex Pump Buddy 25mm Diaphragm Valve

Product Code: 600077

The Apex Pump Buddy is a high-efficiency, high-volume water inlet control valve designed specifically for pump-fed reservoirs, water tanks, and rainwater harvesting systems. By introducing an adjustable, demand-driven filling cycle, it drastically reduces short-cycling—saving electricity and extending the lifespan of your water pump.

Unlike standard float valves that open and close continuously with minor water level fluctuations, the Pump Buddy utilizes a unique dual-weight system to establish clear, customized minimum and maximum water levels.

How It Works (The Dual-Weight Advantage)

The Pump Buddy operates on a smart mechanical delay to optimize pump efficiency:

• The Closed State: When both weights are fully submerged, the valve remains tightly closed (Maximum Water Level).

• The Delay: As water is drawn from the tank, the valve stays closed even when the top weight emerges.

• The Open State: Only when the water drops low enough to expose the bottom weight (Minimum Water Level) does the diaphragm valve snap fully open.

• The Recharge: The valve stays open, delivering a high-volume flow until the water rises back up to submerge both weights, starting the cycle over.

Key Features & Benefits

• Prevents Pump Burnout: Minimizes frequent pump stop/start operations, significantly reducing wear and tear while lowering energy bills.

• Fully Adjustable Levels: Easily customize the distance between your minimum and maximum water thresholds by adjusting the cord length between the weights.

• High-Flow Diaphragm: Engineered for rapid tank replenishment and excellent flow rates.

• Robust Construction: Built to withstand demanding agricultural, commercial, and domestic water systems.

Versatile Applications

• Pump-Fed Reservoirs & Tanks: Ideal for managing automated filling cycles with precision.

• Rainwater Harvesting Backup: Functions perfectly as a mains-water backup control. It ensures mains water is only introduced when tank rainwater is critically low, maximizing your free rainwater storage.

• Large-Scale Water Storage: High-volume design makes it an excellent choice for commercial and agricultural tank inlet control.
