Key Benefits
- Maintains a steady 5.0 gallons per minute flow rate for optimal system performance
- Protects downstream equipment from pressure fluctuations and water surges
- Constructed from corrosion-resistant stainless steel for long-lasting durability
- Easy integration with various water softeners and filtration systems
- Reduces wear on system components by controlling flow precisely
- Compact and lightweight design simplifies installation and handling
How It Works
The SSFC10-5.0 flow control valve regulates the rate of water passing through your water treatment system by restricting flow to a consistent 5.0 gallons per minute. Its stainless steel construction ensures reliable operation even under varying pressure conditions, preventing sudden spikes or drops that can damage other system parts. Installed inline, it acts as a key component in maintaining balanced water pressure and consistent treatment efficiency.
By controlling flow precisely, it allows water softeners and filtration units to operate within optimal parameters, ensuring effective softening, filtration, or other treatment processes without overloading or stressing the system.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll immediately notice smoother water flow with fewer pressure fluctuations, contributing to more stable system performance. In the first few days, the valve will help balance your water treatment setup, reducing strain on pumps and filters. Over the long term, expect the stainless steel valve to maintain consistent flow control with minimal maintenance, offering reliable operation and helping extend the lifespan of your water system components.
