FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- QUESTION: At present I get valve bounce in my troughs, will the Max-Flo valve stop this?
- ANSWER: Yes, valve bounce is created from high flows at high pressures, because our Hansen Max-Flo valve delivers higher flows than other valves it will effectively reduce line pressure which in return will reduce the incidences of this problem by also reducing water hammer.
- QUESTION: At present I have noticed some shuddering and noise in my pipelines when my pump starts and stops, will your valve stop this?
- ANSWER: Yes, this is called water hammer, we have designed the Hansen Max-Flo Valve to open and close slower than other valves effectively varying the flows at these times to minimise the chance of water hammer.
- QUESTION: Can I use the Hansen Max-Flo Valve as a top entry valve with an air gap?
- ANSWER: Yes, the Hansen Max-Flo Valve can be installed at the top, side or bottom entry as all components come with each valve.
- QUESTION: I have problems with having to constantly clean my valves as my water supply can get dirty at times, how will the Hansen Max-Flo valve handle these conditions?
- ANSWER: Our patent pending “Self Cleaning Pilot” will increase durability and suitability in dirty water situations.
- QUESTION: My troughs have both 20mm & 25mm threaded inlets, does your Hansen Max-Flo Valve come in both sizes?
- ANSWER: Yes, the Hansen Max-Flo Valve comes with the required components to install in 20mm or 25mm threaded inlets. This of course means you only need to buy one valve for all sized inlets.
- QUESTION: What pressure can I run my Hansen Max-Flo Valve at?
- ANSWER: The Hansen Max-Flo Valve will operate from 0.2 bar to 12 bar.
- QUESTION: Will the higher flow cost me more to run my pump?
- ANSWER: No, because the Hansen Super-Flo valve is more efficient than what you are used to. The reduced operating pressure required will equate to higher flows at lower pressures at your pump which in turn will reduce pumping time and cost.
