• Electromagnetic valve

The Akvamedik electromagnetic valve "M-valve 1/2" is used for automatic control of reverse osmosis systems. Question: 1. Are there any analogs available, or is it only Akvamedik? 2. What voltage does it operate on? Is it 12 volts or 220? I understand that the reverse osmosis system can be placed under the aquarium (or nearby) and then this valve can be connected to the auto-refill sensors... when the water evaporates, the reverse osmosis system turns on. BUT! How does this valve work?

I have also flooded the bathtub a couple of times, and I'm currently pondering this issue as well. You were advised about this. Haven't you called them? I'll try to find out the price of 106.

Such a system has long been developed by Tunze, called ESO, and I implemented it in the automatic refill system. The power supply is provided through a 24V power supply, with an emergency drain to the sewer and other emergency safety sensors. It's a very convenient thing, but it is expensive. You can use solenoid valves for the water supply, which operate on 220V, and control them using level sensors. You can also use other ready-made level control systems.

I understood from Pavel that it is indeed about the valve. Everything can be done by oneself, but a reliable valve is difficult to find, and ready-made ones are inexplicably expensive.

I also understood the question about whether there is an alternative to AM, which is Tunze, and if you want to make it yourself, you can create such a system for much cheaper. At one time, I used a valve (Dutch) to control the water flow into the aquarium, but I haven't come across any domestic valves like that. The one in my photo cost about $60, it's brass, but it can be installed before the osmosis system only if the osmosis is used solely for the aquarium.

Valves are cheaper to buy from scrap metal dealers, the Soviet-era SVM version, 220 V, various diameters. Made of ductile iron, but it's better to look for acid-resistant ones, as they are enamel-coated.

you didn't understand the main question! how to make the valve work!!! more precisely, what triggers it??? here they are with our sellers. BUT how to make it work? PRINCIPLE? will I be able to connect it to the auto-refill system... Aleksandr P: the whole system is for the sea...

It is written there "...The power consumption is only 6 W for the AC coil and 9.5 for the DC coil..." how to interpret this, I am a complete novice in these matters.

Erica

Do you have a magnetron on the left in the Dutch oven? A brass casing like that...

Amber

Activates upon receiving power from a timer relay or when the circuit is closed by a float switch or another toggle switch.

Sharon

Better contact PYTОN, he has an automatic refill system, just what you need.

Robert

The PEAShmeter is connected to it sequentially.

So he only needs 6 volts to trigger, or does he need 220?

Crystal

Is it on our forum? Give me the link to it.

These valves can be normally closed or normally open, meaning that one type opens when voltage is applied, while the other closes. Based on this, the system should be designed accordingly. As I mentioned, a brass valve can be installed before the RO, and the osmosis will activate based on signals from the level sensors after power is supplied to the solenoid valve. The sensors and switching device can be made by oneself if one is knowledgeable in this area, or a ready-made system can be used, such as a float, controller, and socket.

No, it's just a collector for distribution throughout the apartment.

And what is the pH meter for? The discussed valve should shut off the water, not CO2.
