Drip-Tight Closing: Closure is obtained by directingline pressure or equivalent independent pressureinto the upper chamber. This pressure on the large diaphragm area causes the valve disc to sealagainst the seat. (Ratio of diaphragm to disc area is 1.3 or greater.)

Full Open Operation: When closing pressure in upper chamber is relieved by venting the pilotline, the valve opens, positively, by line pressure on the disc.

n ApplicationsIn addition to the water treatment process systems, the valves are used in a wide variety of applications. Some of the typical applications are:

Float Operated Brine Valve

Installation Instructions

DescriptionThe AquaMatic Brine Control Valve is a pilot controlled, hydraulically operated Y-pattern diaphragm valve. It is controlled by pressure which determines the upper and lower brine levels in the tank.

The valve will allow a predetermined amount of brine to be withdrawn and automatically refill with fresh water through a common line. Refilling is achieved while the softener is in fast rinse service.

Features1. Positive opening and closing of valve by combining

vacuum and pressure.

2. Pilot uses fresh water and air for control pressures.

3. Air and drip-tight closure after brining and also refilling.

4. Completely automatic in the opening and closing operation of the brine and refill cycles.

OperationWith the softener in service position and brine tank at the predetermined upper level, line pressure is directed to the upper chamber of the diaphragm valve. This closes the valve. The lower chamber of the valve is vented to atmosphere through the pilot control.

With the softener in brine position, the vacuum created by the action of the ejector is transferred through the pilot control to the upper chamber of the diaphragm valve. The valve opens to allow brine to be withdrawn from the brine tank.

When the predetermined amount of brine has been withdrawn, the float contacts the lower float stop. The weight of the float will cause the lever arm to rotate to the down position. The vacuum is transferred to the lower chamber. This closes the valve and stops the flow of brine. The valve remains closed until the fast rinse cycle occurs.

With the softener in the fast rinse position, line pressure replaces the vacuum in the lower chamber. This will force the valve to the open position and allow the fresh water to refill the brine tank. At the predetermined upper level the float contacts the upper float stop. The lever arm rotates to the up position and pressure is directed to the upper chamber of the diaphragm valve. This will close the valve (drip-tight) until the next brine cycle.

Installation1. Before installation, the pipe lines should be flushed

thoroughly to remove all chips, scale, and other foreign matter

2. Valve should be installed with refill flow in the direction as shown by the arrow on the body of the valve.

3. The float rod should be installed as shown above.

4. The counterweight should be adjusted to balance the weight of the float rod.

5. Float is now installed on the float rod. The spacing between the float stops determines the travel or

range of the float. This travel controls the amount of brine to be transferred to the softener tank.

6. Calculate the amount of brine required for a regeneration cycle. Convert gallons of brine to number of inches of draw down in the brine tank. Adjust distance between Adjustable float stops on float rod to achieve proper brine draw down.

7. Once the correct draw down has been established, the upper liquid level in the brine tank can be controlled by adjusting lever arm stops. This action does not affect the brine draw down controlled by the float.

VALVECLOSED

VALVEOPEN

Drip-Tight Closing: Closure is obtained by directing linepressure or equivalent independent pressure into theupper chamber. This pressure on the large diaphragmarea causes the valve disc to seal against the seat.

Full Open Operation: When the closing pressure in the upper chamber is relieved by venting the pilotline, the valve opens positively, by line pressure onthe disc.

The AquaMatic stager is a motor-driven rotary multiport pilot valve, which is used to control a set of individual diaphragm valves in a predefined sequence. Stagers are constructed of durable, non-corroding, self-lubricating material for long and trouble-free operation. Stagers are driven by an electric motor and are controlled byAquaMatic programmable controllers or adjustable timers. In the event of a powerfailure, AquaMatic brand stagers can be manually advanced through all positions.

The stager functions by pressurizing and venting the control ports, allowing valves toopen and close in a predefined sequence. The control pressure to the stager, eitherhydraulic or pneumatic, must be constant and equal to or greater than the line pressurein the system.

n Optional Featuresn Electrical.........................................................................The stagers can be supplied in a NEMA-rated

enclosure or without enclosure and can be

supplied with a maximum of two extra auxiliary

cams and switches (SPDT) for electrical

outputs in any position. All stagers are available

for use in 120VAC, 220VAC, 12VAC and 24VAC

configurations.

n Hydraulic/Pneumatic......................................................Standard stagers are designed to operatenormally open (pressure to close) valves.

Optional stagers can be supplied with an

inverted program to operate normally closed

(pressure to open) valves.

AquaMatic Valves and ControlsValve Nests Made EasyValve Nests Made Easy

The AquaMatic diaphragm valve pioneered the industrial water treatment industry for over 45 years. Integral in any valve nest system, the AquaMatic valve set the standard for simple, well-designed and reliable performance. Valve nests surpass large multiport valves in many ways, giving you greater application flexibility, superiorflow rate performance and significant cost savings in most cases. Valve nests have been an industry-staple for many years, and now GE makes it easy to specify, quoteand build an AquaMatic valve nest system. The new Easy Nest Kits simplify a valvenest down to two part numbers (valving and stager controller). Gone are the days of specifying multiple valves, stagers and controls. Now, all you need to do is knowyour tank size, flow rate and piping size to easily specify and quote a valve nest kit. The Easy Nest Kits include:

n An entire valve nest simplified down to two part numbers.

n The ability to quickly and easily specify, quote and engineer a complete valve nestsystem in minutes.

n A competitively priced valve nest system, using simplified and proven configurations of valves and layouts.

n Reduced inventory by not carrying an array of independent valves and controllers in stock.

n Less paperwork and engineering time with each valve nest built.

n Simple valve nest diagrams and suggested assembly drawings available.

n A convenient way to enter into the high-profit market of industrial water treatmentsystems.

n Over 45 years of AquaMatic valve nest reliability.

n Easy Nest Features

n No-hassle selection documentation for specifying, engineering and building the valvenest system.

n Available in either composite or metal valve configurations.

n Filter and Softener configurations available.

n Available with electronic or electromechanical controls.

n Tank size coverage from 36 to 120-inches.

n Service flow rates from 80 to 1300 gpm (18 m3/h - 295 m3/h).*

n Backwash flow rates from: 35 gpm (8 m3/h) - 392 gpm (89 m3/h) for a Softener system.* 35 gpm (8 m3/h) - 1200 gpm (272 m3/h) for a Filter system.*

n Easy Nest Kits come with: diaphragm valves, control, pilot tubing, tubing fittings for thevalves, injector (for softener system) and suggested application drawings for assemblyof the unit.

Open the door to a whole new spectrum of tank sizes that you may have never previously tried. The AquaMatic Easy Nest Kits give you opportunities to seek new business that will result in a very healthy bottom line.

*Flow rates shown are valve only, not the completed system.

n OperationWater Distribution The Easy Nest Kit configuration eliminates the need for a center distributor tube resulting in:

n Improved distribution of service, backwash and regenerant flows.

n Better flow distribution improves system efficiency.

n Lower pressure drops, reduces pumping costs.

n Many available sizes of Easy Nest Kits to meet or match media manufacturers performance requirements.

n Longer media bed life.

Large water treatment systems are designed with a distribution system that incorporates an upper diffuser and lower collector to optimize performance. This type of distribution system uniformly distributes the service flow across a large area, minimizing the potential for water channeling through the media bed.

n Design BenefitsThe Easy Nest Kits by virtue of their design simplify service procedures, reducing maintenance costs:

n All AquaMatic valving is mounted away from the tank opening to provide quick access for media servicing.

n Aquamatic valves are plainly visible and accessible for quick serv-icing.

n Easy Nest Kits can be serviced without disturbing the piping.

n Easy to identify and service the specific component for repair.

n All AquaMatic valves operate in the same manner, no need for extensive training programs.

n Control assembly can be remote-mounted for easy access.

n Easy Nest Kits use Autotrol controls, which are widely used in the water treatment industry.

n 962 electronic controller assembly allows retrieval of historical data (peak water usage, total water used, daily averages, etc.)

Easy Nest Kits provide a straightforward approach to water treatment, by incorporating the flexibility ofAutotrol controllers and the robust design of the AquaMatic valves into a simple and effective valve nest.

ExampleFind drawrate for 30% hydrochloric acid at inlet pressure of 60 psi and back pressure of 5 psi for 1" blue code ejector.

From Nozzle Flowrate Table: At 60 psi, Series 542-3A = Nozzle flowrate = 14.4 gal./min.C = Draw factor = 0.82

From Specific Gravity Chart: B = S.G. of 30% HCL = 1.14From Efficiency Table (Fig. 1): D = 5 psi backpressure @ 60psi inlet

pressure = 77%

Drawrate = (14.4) (0.82) (.77) = 7.97 gal./min.1.14

How to Order1. Select series number based on required pipe size.2. Add S suffix to series number if socket weld ends desired.3. Add nozzle size suffix as determined by supply pressure and required

flow (see example).
