Pro_builder · 12-18-2003, 11:45 PM

Were can I get an electronic SCWD Valve? I know that mojoreef has one on his tank. Has anyone had any experience with them?

I'm not sure that is what I am trying to find out. If I can figure out who makes it I can buy it wholesale. but, have ot find it first.
Thanks for the offer though.
I know that Mike (mojoreef) has one on his tank.

Its motorized ball valve Troy. They aint cheap either.... www.customaquatic.com sells 'em...starting at $220.00 for a 1/2 inch one way valve. I believe Mojo's got 2 way valves that an inch or so in diameter....($360.00)
Thy're great, made by spears.....but friggin expensive....

We deal lots with motorized valves that is a good price, the ones we use usually cost a few thousand each, and are hard wired to a PLC at another location and all computer controlled by some office geek 100 miles away.

I was thinking of using a valve from a sprinkler system. The last time I opened on it was just plastic and rubber. They are only about 15 and are 1" valves. Now they only turn on an off but if you put a Y or T in from of them then the closed position outputs water to the left side and the would do both or you could put two on timers in opposing cycles.
