Why should the traditional check valve retire?
Remember that water pipe burst incident in the community last year? The valve disc of the old check valve got stuck, causing the water to flow back in the water heaters of the entire building. Now, the Emerson new HV300 check valve is equipped with an “anti-stuck spring system”, which enables it to open and close smoothly even when there are sand and stones in the water. The test data from a water supply plant shows that after replacing with the intelligent valve, the pipe burst incidents were directly reduced by 55%!
The three key features of the intelligent check valve
1.”Eye-Tracking” monitoring system: The miniature sensors inside the valve can detect abnormal water flow within 0.1 seconds, and the APP provides real-time alerts
2.”Tai Chi” Buffer Design: Utilizing a biomimetic corrugated structure, the impact force of water hammer is neutralized without leaving any trace.
3.”Self-cleaning” mode: Automatically uses high-speed water flow to scrub the sealing surface each time it is turned off, eliminating the accumulation of impurities.
Remember these 3 points during installation and the lifespan will be extended by 5 years.
Astrology of Positioning: When installed horizontally, the valve flap should face upwards. When installed vertically, let the water flow arrow point against the wall – don’t ask why, this is a conclusion drawn by a master after 20 years of experience.
Welding Warning: You can use the adhesive tape, but please make sure the welding gun does not touch the transparent sensor window!
Pressure test bonus: When the water starts flowing for the first time, quickly turn it on and off three times. This will activate the hidden calibration mode.
The overlooked maintenance secret that 90% of users ignore
Last month, when I visited the factory of Jiangsu Tongsheng Valves, the technical director revealed a brilliant trick: Pour half a cup of cola (either sugar-free or not) into the pipeline every quarter. The acidic substances can dissolve minor scale deposits without corroding the titanium alloy valve seats – it’s much cheaper than professional cleaning agents!
Real User: After using it for half a year, our water pump has never been temperamental again.
“The most obvious change is that it’s quiet at night,” said Ms. Zhang, who lives on the sixth floor. “Previously, we could hear the loud ‘thud’ sound from the water pipes at midnight. Now, even the water flow sound has become extremely gentle.” What’s even more surprising is the water bill – it saved 15% in two months. It turns out that the water lost through the old valve was enough to fill two bathtubs!
In this era where even toilets have become smart, it’s time for check valves to catch up with the trend as well. After all, when technology can reduce the hassles in our lives, who would miss that clanging iron lump that kept making noises from time to time?
