3/8″ Water Float Valve Aquatonics Brass for In‑Ground Pools 2.25 GPM

Description

Product Overview

The Aquatonics 3/8″ Water Float Valve is engineered for dependable water level management in a variety of residential and commercial applications. Constructed from high‑grade brass, the valve body provides exceptional corrosion resistance and long‑term durability, even when exposed to chlorinated pool water or harsh outdoor environments. Certified to ASME B16.34, ASTM B16, and MSS SP 72 standards, the valve meets rigorous industry requirements for safety and performance.

Designed with a maximum operating pressure of 125 PSI, the valve can safely handle the pressures commonly encountered in in‑ground pool circulation systems, water storage tanks, and automatic fill setups. The 2.25 GPM flow capacity ensures a steady, controlled water supply without overwhelming the system, while the National Pipe Tapered (NPT) inlet connection provides a secure, leak‑free fit for standard plumbing lines.

Its compact 3/8‑inch size and white finish allow seamless integration into tight spaces, making it an ideal retrofit component for existing pool equipment or new construction projects. The valve features a large, user‑friendly wingnut that enables quick manual adjustments without the need for additional tools, simplifying installation and maintenance for both DIY enthusiasts and professional installers.

Usage

This float valve excels in maintaining optimal water levels for in‑ground swimming pools, spa tubs, and large water storage tanks. By automatically opening or closing based on the float’s position, it prevents over‑filling, reduces water waste, and protects pump motors from dry‑run conditions. The adjustable float level screw allows users to set a precise fill point, ensuring the water surface remains at the desired height even as evaporation or splash loss occurs.

Beyond pool applications, the valve is well‑suited for irrigation reservoirs, rainwater harvesting systems, and industrial water tanks where consistent water levels are critical for process stability. Its robust brass construction tolerates a wide temperature range, making it reliable in both heated indoor environments and outdoor installations exposed to seasonal temperature fluctuations.

Installation is straightforward: connect the valve to a standard NPT pipe, set the desired float height, and secure the wingnut. The valve then operates autonomously, requiring only periodic inspection to verify proper float movement and to clean any debris that may accumulate over time.
