Tru-Design Manual AquaValve

Tru-Design Manual AquaValve is the most versatile valve on the market today. Designed and Made in New Zealand, for use in applications where diversion and control of the flow of water or Effluent is desired. The AquaValve is typically used in marine toilet applications where protection for the environment necessitates the need to control Effluent discharge – in many countries this is governed by regulation.

Sewage entering our waterways and oceans has become a problem faced in many areas. Legislation forbidding the dumping of marine waste has been in place in areas such as the Great Lakes (USA) for many years. With 124 countries now party to MARPOL 73/78 Annex IV for ships, smaller vessels are now being targeted. Legislation in many countries now dictates the use of holding tanks near shore, or in defined areas.

By installing a diverting valve, the user has the ability to Hold sewage when required by law and can pump directly Overboard when allowed. The AquaValve has the ability to be locked to comply with local legislation.

Tru-Design AquaValve is the most versatile valve available, providing the option of choosing the style of valve, mix and match fittings, adjust the angle of piping and flip the face plate to suit the installation and fitting a diverting valve.

Tru-Design AquaValve is moulded from a glass reinforced nylon composite. High strength, high modulus glass fibres impregnated into the nylon provides dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness, and dimensional stability.
