Hudson 1" Float Valve
The Hudson 1" Float Valve is a compact, high-volume automatic liquid level control valve designed for consistent water regulation in a variety of applications, including pressure washing buffer tanks, soft wash systems, and water supply setups. Unlike traditional float valves, it has no lever arm or exterior moving parts, making it virtually indestructible and freeze-resistant.
This self-contained valve uses water pressure rather than a float ball to automatically open and close, maintaining a steady water level in pressure washing buffer tanks, livestock tanks, ponds, pools, and irrigation systems. With easy installation and high flow efficiency, it's the ideal solution for anyone needing a durable, low-maintenance water control system.
- Essential for Pressure Washing Buffer Tanks – Ensures a consistent water supply, preventing pump cavitation and maintaining efficiency.
- Automatic Water Level Control – Maintains steady water levels without manual adjustments.
- No Lever Arm or Float Ball – Eliminates common failure points found in traditional float valves.
- Compact & Durable – Fits into tight spaces and is resistant to freezing and rust.
- High-Volume Flow – Puts 80% of the water supply flow through the valve for efficient filling.
- Anti-Siphon Design – Prevents backflow contamination in water supply systems.
- Easy Installation – Installs in seconds onto existing plumbing or with a Hudson Mounting Bracket.
- Versatile Applications – Ideal for pressure washing buffer tanks, soft wash systems, livestock tanks, irrigation, ponds, pools, and car washes.
