The Apex Pump Buddy is a high-flow, pressure-activated tank valve for pump-fed water systems, controlling water levels without needing electricity or float switches, saving energy, extending pump life, and preventing water hammer. It offers adjustable minimum/maximum levels for efficiency or acts as a backup for rainwater harvesting, handling large flows (up to 100 GPM/1500LPM) and pressures (8-175 PSI). Key features include simple weight adjustment for levels, durable design, and a soft-close mechanism for smooth operation.
The Apex Pump Buddy and Big Boy float valve typically has a 24-month (2-year) warranty against faulty materials and workmanship from the date of purchase.
Series PumpBuddy valve is an inlet control device which allows for variable minimum and maximum water level settings within a water tank when filling from a pump. Used to maintain minimum and maximum water levels within a tank, saving electricity and extending pump life. Also used for Rain Harvesting applications as a back-up water supply control valve, in the event of demand exceeding rainfall.
Apex PumpBuddy sizes primarily come in 20mm (3/4″), 25mm (1″), and 32mm (1¼”), with both standard and “Long Tail (LT)” (for deeper tanks/reservoirs) options, allowing for adjustable high and low water levels in tanks using a diaphragm system, perfect for agricultural, residential, and industrial water management.
BigBoy
Series BigBoy Diaphragm Reservoir Valve is a soft-closing valve with enormous flow rate to maintain minimum and maximum water levels within a tank or reservoir. Used for pump or mains/gravity feed applications that allows for a single level or variable water level. Also used for Rain Harvesting applications as a back-up water supply control valve, in the event of demand exceeding rainfall.
The Apex Big Boy float valve comes in common plumbing sizes: 32mm (1¼”), 40mm (1½”), and 50mm (2″), designed for high-flow applications in large tanks, offering soft-closing action for water hammer prevention and dual-level control.
