Valves
Valves let you to control the rate of the flow of water to
a waterfall, sluice to a drain, or close down for repairs or maintenance.
Well placed valves can make your waterfall more enjoyable and easier
for regulation.
Float valve
Float valve automatically controls the level of water in your
basin. Once attached to a water system and installed at the edge,
the valve will prevent leakage of water. Can be hidden under edge
or plants. It works like the float valve in a toilet.
Three- way valve
Three-way valve can shut off water flow,
send a controlled flow to a spill way, or open a flow for draining.
Ball valve
Ball valve turn on or off water quickly away
from the source, this water flow regulator operates with a one-quarter
turn on the handle to start the water flow. Inside is a ball with
a hole in it. When the hole is aligned with the pipe, water goes through
it.
Gate valve
Where you want to make sensitive flow adjustments, use a gate
valve. Turning the handle lifts or lowers a barrier inside of the
valve. Lifted barrier allows water to flow freely, when lowered, it
stops the water flow completely. You can regulate the barrier to any
size opening to change water flow.
Three-way or diverter valve
This water valve has one inlet and two outlets. Turning the
handle position changes the balance of flow between the two outlets.
Use it when one pump is operating two spill-ways of waterfall.
