would this valve work
Ok I found a plastic valve that is selanoid operated. I was thinking I could use twoof thease and alternate the open close of them and creat a change of flow direction in my tank. this is the info on the valve
Valve Features
High Flow with low pressure loss.
Normally closed.
Electric or manual operation.
Easy in line maintenance.
Smooth valve opening and closing prevents pressure surge hazards.
Rugged reinforced and supported self cleaning diaphragm provides reliable operation even with dirty water.
Flow control handle for water flow adjustment and manual shutoff.
Manual internal bleed override for opening valve in case of power failure without external water spill.
Solenoid Features
Low sensitivity to dirt and voltage fluctuations.
Replacement plunger tip.
Silicone "O" ring.
Heavy duty construction.
Solenoid - 24 VAC(50-60 cycles)
Current - .032A (7.7 VA)
Holding Current - 0.16A (3.84 VA)
Power Consumption - 1.7 / 2.2 watts
Solenoid thread 3/4" - 20 UNES-2A
please let me know what you think. I can get the valves for between 35 and 40 us each. I was thinking of using a switching relay to alternate them, that way one would switch on while the other switched off.
