Commitment to Partnerships with Customers

No two customers are alike. That means standard or
off the shelf does not apply to the needs of everyone.
In these situations, our engineers work closely with our
customers to develop customized solutions to their specific
application. The result is a unique combination of valves
and related components that will provide years of reliable,
trouble-free service.
One example of our commitment to partnerships with our
customers can be found in the irrigation market. Based on
the cost-reduction needs of a long-time GE customer, we
created a valve especially for irrigation applications.

Three basic models are available: energized to open, energized to close and independent control
pressure. Principle of operation for the three models are:
Energized to Open..............................Line pressure is directed through the solenoid to the upper

diaphragm chamber, closing the valve. Activating the solenoid
vents the upper diaphragm chamber, allowing the valve to open.
Energized to Close..............................Line pressure is directed through the solenoid to upper diaphragm

chamber, closing the valve. Deactivating the solenoid vents the
upper diaphragm chamber, allowing the valve to open.
Independent Control Pressure ...........An independent source of pressure is used through the solenoid
to control the diaphragm valve.

Float Operated Brine Valve

Installation Instructions
Operation
With the softener in service position and brine tank at
the predetermined upper level, line pressure is directed
to the upper chamber of the diaphragm valve. This
closes the valve. The lower chamber of the valve is
vented to atmosphere through the pilot control.
With the softener in brine position, the vacuum created
by the action of the ejector is transferred through the
pilot control to the upper chamber of the diaphragm
valve. The valve opens to allow brine to be withdrawn
from the brine tank.
When the predetermined amount of brine has been
withdrawn, the float contacts the lower float stop. The
weight of the float will cause the lever arm to rotate to
the down position. The vacuum is transferred to the
lower chamber. This closes the valve and stops the flow
of brine. The valve remains closed until the fast rinse
cycle occurs.
Description
The AquaMatic Brine Control Valve is a pilot
controlled, hydraulically operated Y-pattern diaphragm
valve. It is controlled by pressure which determines the
upper and lower brine levels in the tank.
The valve will allow a predetermined amount of brine to
be withdrawn and automatically refill with fresh water
through a common line. Refilling is achieved while the
softener is in fast rinse service.
Features
1. Positive opening and closing of valve by combining
vacuum and pressure.
2. Pilot uses fresh water and air for control pressures.
3. Air and drip-tight closure after brining and also
refilling.
4. Completely automatic in the opening and closing
operation of the brine and refill cycles.
With the softener in the fast rinse position, line pressure

replaces the vacuum in the lower chamber. This will
force the valve to the open position and allow the fresh
water to refill the brine tank. At the predetermined
upper level the float contacts the upper float stop. The
lever arm rotates to the up position and pressure is
directed to the upper chamber of the diaphragm valve.
This will close the valve (drip-tight) until the next brine
cycle.

Installation
1. Before installation, the pipe lines should be flushed
thoroughly to remove all chips, scale, and other
foreign matter
2. Valve should be installed with refill flow in the
direction as shown by the arrow on the body of the
valve.
3. The float rod should be installed as shown above.
4. The counterweight should be adjusted to balance
the weight of the float rod.
5. Float is now installed on the float rod. The spacing
between the float stops determines the travel or
1999 Osmonics
range of the float. This travel controls the amount of

brine to be transferred to the softener tank.
6. Calculate the amount of brine required for a
regeneration cycle. Convert gallons of brine to
number of inches of draw down in the brine tank.
Adjust distance between Adjustable float stops
on float rod to achieve proper brine draw down.
7. Once the correct draw down has been established,
the upper liquid level in the brine tank can be
controlled by adjusting lever arm stops. This
action does not affect the brine draw down
controlled by the float.

Principles of Operations
VALVE
CLOSED
Drip-Tight Closing: Closure is obtained by directing line

pressure or equivalent independent pressure into the
upper chamber. This pressure on the large diaphragm
area causes the valve disc to seal against the seat.
VALVE
OPEN
Full Open Operation: When the closing pressure

in the upper chamber is relieved by venting the pilot
line, the valve opens positively, by line pressure on
the disc.

the advantages of the unparalleled AquaMatic metal body valve design, along with
their own design advantages. The K520 series valve body and cap are molded with
glass-filled Noryl* thermoplastic.
K520 Series Features and Options
Low Pressure Loss ..............Y-pattern diaphragm valve, with large seat opening and high lift
disc permits higher flow rates at lower pressure loss than other
comparable valves.
Positive Control ....................Separate flow and control chambers permit positive closing without
springs; and only nominal cost for spring assist opening for low-pressure
and self-draining applications.
Cost-Effective Design ..........The K520 series valve is a cost-effective solution in initial purchase price
as well as in lifetime maintenance. All components can be serviced while
the valve is in-line.
Separate Diaphragm ............Separate diaphragm chambers protect the valve diaphragm from the flow
Chambers
stream. This allows the diaphragm to be replaced without disrupting service.
Long Diaphragm Life ...........Pre-formed, stress relieved diaphragm minimizes fatigue, maximizes valve
responsiveness and diaphragm lifetime.
Corrosion Resistant .............All internal parts in contact with media are made of composite materials.
Seals are ethylene propylene for better chemical resistance**.
Pipe Sizes .............................Series K520 valves are available in four different sizes, from 1/2-inch
to 2-1/2-inch. A variety of available end connectors makes the valve

Optional Position Indicators
Optional Spring Assist

Optional Seals and Diaphragm Materials for Special Applications
Adaptable to a Wide Variety of Control Devices
Maximum Pressure..............125 PSI (8.6 bars)
Operation..............................The K530 series valve is closed by introducing either hydraulic or pneumatic pressure to the upper diaphragm chamber. The control pressure
must be equal to or greater than the line pressure. The valve is opened
by relieving the pressure from the upper diaphragm chamber. The line
pressure under the seat will then open the valve. The unique AquaMatic
Y-pattern design minimizes pressure loss in the valve.

AquaMatic Series Product Specifications
Stagers
The AquaMatic stager is a motor-driven rotary multiport pilot valve, which is used
to control a set of individual diaphragm valves in a predefined sequence. Stagers
are constructed of durable, non-corroding, self-lubricating material for long and
trouble-free operation. Stagers are driven by an electric motor and are controlled by
AquaMatic programmable controllers or adjustable timers. In the event of a power
failure, AquaMatic brand stagers can be manually advanced through all positions.
The stager functions by pressurizing and venting the control ports, allowing valves to
open and close in a predefined sequence. The control pressure to the stager, either
hydraulic or pneumatic, must be constant and equal to or greater than the line pressure
in the system.
Optional Features
Electrical.........................................................................The stagers can be supplied in a NEMA-rated
enclosure or without enclosure and can be
supplied with a maximum of two extra auxiliary
cams and switches (SPDT) for electrical
outputs in any position. All stagers are available
for use in 120VAC, 220VAC, 12VAC and 24VAC
configurations.
Hydraulic/Pneumatic......................................................Standard stagers are designed to operate
normally open (pressure to close) valves.
Optional stagers can be supplied with an
inverted program to operate normally closed
(pressure to open) valves.

AquaMatic Valves and Controls
Valve Nests Made Easy
The AquaMatic diaphragm valve pioneered the industrial water treatment industry
for over 45 years. Integral in any valve nest system, the AquaMatic valve set the
standard for simple, well-designed and reliable performance. Valve nests surpass
large multiport valves in many ways, giving you greater application flexibility, superior
flow rate performance and significant cost savings in most cases. Valve nests have
been an industry-staple for many years, and now GE makes it easy to specify, quote
and build an AquaMatic valve nest system. The new Easy Nest Kits simplify a valve
nest down to two part numbers (valving and stager controller). Gone are the days
of specifying multiple valves, stagers and controls. Now, all you need to do is know
your tank size, flow rate and piping size to easily specify and quote a valve nest kit.
The Easy Nest Kits include:
An entire valve nest simplified down to two part numbers.
The ability to quickly and easily specify, quote and engineer a complete valve nest
system in minutes.
A competitively priced valve nest system, using simplified and proven configurations
of valves and layouts.
Reduced inventory by not carrying an array of independent valves and controllers

in stock.
Less paperwork and engineering time with each valve nest built.
Simple valve nest diagrams and suggested assembly drawings available.
A convenient way to enter into the high-profit market of industrial water treatment
systems.
Over 45 years of AquaMatic valve nest reliability.
Easy Nest Features
No-hassle selection documentation for specifying, engineering and building the valve
nest system.
Available in either composite or metal valve configurations.
Filter and Softener configurations available.
Available with electronic or electromechanical controls.
Tank size coverage from 36 to 120-inches.
Service flow rates from 80 to 1300 gpm (18 m 3/h - 295 m 3/h).*
Backwash flow rates from:

35 gpm (8 m 3/h) - 392 gpm (89 m 3/h) for a Softener system.*
35 gpm (8 m 3/h) - 1200 gpm (272 m 3/h) for a Filter system.*
Easy Nest Kits come with: diaphragm valves, control, pilot tubing, tubing fittings for the
valves, injector (for softener system) and suggested application drawings for assembly
of the unit.
Open the door to a whole new spectrum of tank sizes that you may have never
previously tried. The AquaMatic Easy Nest Kits give you opportunities to seek new
business that will result in a very healthy bottom line.
*Flow rates shown are valve only, not the completed system.
Operation
Water Distribution The Easy Nest Kit configuration eliminates the need
for a center distributor tube resulting in:
Improved distribution of service, backwash and regenerant flows.
Better flow distribution improves system efficiency.
Lower pressure drops, reduces pumping costs.
Many available sizes of Easy Nest Kits to meet or match media

manufacturers performance requirements.
Longer media bed life.
Large water treatment systems are designed with a distribution

system that incorporates an upper diffuser and lower collector to
optimize performance. This type of distribution system uniformly
distributes the service flow across a large area, minimizing the
potential for water channeling through the media bed.
Design Benefits
The Easy Nest Kits by virtue of their design simplify service
procedures, reducing maintenance costs:
All AquaMatic valving is mounted away from the tank opening to
provide quick access for media servicing.
Aquamatic valves are plainly visible and accessible for quick servicing.
Easy Nest Kits can be serviced without disturbing the piping.
Easy to identify and service the specific component for repair.
All AquaMatic valves operate in the same manner, no need for

extensive training programs.
Control assembly can be remote-mounted for easy access.
Easy Nest Kits use Autotrol controls, which are widely used in the water treatment industry.
962 electronic controller assembly allows retrieval of historical data (peak water usage, total water used,
daily averages, etc.)
Easy Nest Kits provide a straightforward approach to water treatment, by incorporating the flexibility of
Autotrol controllers and the robust design of the AquaMatic valves into a simple and effective valve nest.

GE Infrastructure
540 Fluid Ejectors

Features and Benefits
A wide selection of fluid ejectors are available from GE
Infrastructure Water & Process Technologies, ranging from 1/2 to
2-inch pipe size. They are constructed of corrosion resistant PVC
material specifically designed for application in water treatment
systems. Our ejectors are available in U.S. standard socket weld
ends and NPT ends. Add an S suffix to the series number when
ordering ejectors with socket weld ends.
Series 540 ejectors will operate at temperatures up to 140F (60C).
Minimum operating pressure is 20 psi (1.37 bars), and maximum
operating pressure is 125 psi (8.6 bars).
The ejector cartridge is chemically bonded inside the housing for long,
trouble-free life. For optimum performance, ejectors should be
installed so that a piece of straight pipe extends from the discharge
area.
> Optimal Performance
> Durable
> Economical

FLOW CELL
Flow Meters
Features and Benefits
The FLOW CELL flowmeter design takes full advantage of the
dominant features of the orifice and the area-type flowmeters. It
is a reasonably priced, unique flowmeter that is easy to operate,
with simple construction and provides the same accuracy as an
area-type flowmeter.
FLOW CELL is a compact, differential pressure flowmeter that
can be installed directly in the main pipeline regardless of
upward, downward, or horizontal flow direction. It measures the
rate of flow of water and other transparent fluids through piping
up to 20" diameter (other sizes on request), and consists of two
major partsa base socket containing an orifice plate installed in
the main stream and a flow gauge consisting of a float in a
tapered, transparent tube. A strainer is incorporated at the inlet
port of the gauge to filter out material contaminants, and may be
removed for cleaning.
Margin of error is minimal and remains constant across the
entire scale. Accuracy within 2% is obtained at the top of the
scale when measuring fluid with viscosity similar to that of
water. When other fluids are measured, FLOW CELL is accurate
within 2.5%. Most fluids can be measured if their viscosity is similar to water.
Gauge cleaning and maintenance is simplified with the use of a
Checkmatea valve between the base socket and gauge.
By-pass flow through the gauge may be shut off to remove the gauge
without disrupting the main flow.
> Outstanding quality construction
> Performanceaccurate to 2%
> Ease of mountinginstall in any flow
direction
> Small sizerequires less than 6 inches of
pipe line; gauge less than 11 inches tall
> Ease of maintenancecan be serviced without
shutdown of main flow
> Warrantyunlimited 12 months
> Competitively priced
> Wide range of sizes3/8" through 20"
> Special featuresgauge strainer; direct
reading; custom scales; available in 316SS
and PVC
Principle of Measurement
Total flow rate is obtained by measuring a proportioned
by-pass flow generated by the orifice plate in response
to the main flow velocity. The by-pass flow is directed
through a vertically positioned, transparent tube. As
the fluid flows from the lower to the upper end of the
tube, it raises the float to the level where the tube
opening is large enough to accommodate the by-pass
volume. Gauge markings on the tube are calibrated to
reflect flow capacity of the pipe. The mark
corresponding to the level of the float indicates the
total flow rate.

Construction
FLOW CELL consists of two major componentsa base
socket containing an orifice plate, and a gauge
assembly. The base socket in standard model (metal)
FLOW CELLS of sizes 3/8 through 3/4" are machined
from bronze castings. Base sockets of larger sizes are
machined from ductile cast iron or carbon steel with
stainless steel orifice plates.
The metal components of the standard models gauge
assembly are nickel plated brass and 304 stainless
steel. The strainer cap is acrylic resin, and the
(tapered) metering tube is Pyrex glass. A protective
shield of plexiglass is mounted in front of the metering
tube.
FLOW CELL flowmeters are optionally available in 316
stainless steel or PVC construction. The metering tube
is also available with English or Metric scales for both
water and gas. See Tables 2 and 5 for available gauge
scales. See Table 1 for detailed information concerning
materials of construction.
Mounting
The base socket may be mounted in either vertical or
horizontal position, and the fluid may flow in either
direction. However, the gauge assembly must be
vertical when secured to the base socket.
Model FLTFLOW CELL has a thread mount base
socket and is available in 3/8" through 6" pipe sizes.
Model FLY FLOW CELL has a flange mount base
socket and is available in 1-1/2" through 20" pipe sizes.
Model FLW FLOW CELL (PVC) is available only in
flange mount, and in 3/8" through 6" pipe sizes.
To function properly, the base socket must be installed

with sufficient straight pipe before and after the orifice
plate to permit unrestricted flow-through. This pipe
must be the same size as the meter, and be schedule
40 if metal, or schedule 80 if PVC.

Standard model (metal) FLOW CELL flowmeters are
equipped with acrylic strainer caps, Neoprene O-rings,
and are rated at 140F (60C) and a pressure of 150
psi (10 KgF/cm2) maximum. Substitution of an
optional metal strainer cap extends the operating
range to 194F (90C) and 300 psi (20 KgF/cm2)
maximum.
FLOW CELLS made of 316SS have Teflon O-rings and
are rated at 302F (150C) and 300 psi (20 KgF/cm2)
maximum.
All metal FLOW CELLS can be supplied with optional
Teflon O-rings which extends their maximum
temperature to 302F (150C).
Model FLW FLOW CELL (PVC) is rated at 122F
(50C) and 114 psi (8 KgF/cm2) maximum.
O-rings increases maximum temperature rating to

302F (150 C).
The PVC K type Checkmate is rated at 122F (50C)
and 114 psi (8 KgF/cm2) maximum.
Connector (optional)
When measuring the flow rate in a pipe that is not
conveniently located for easy viewing, the gauge
assembly may be offset from the base socket and
connected by 3/8" (10mm) pipe. Two connecting
blocks, one for the gauge assembly and the other for
the base socket, are available to facilitate offset
installations. The gauge may be offset up to 16 feet
(5m) without loss of accuracy. Connectors are
available in chrome plated brass, 316SS, and PVC.
Alarm Module (optional)
Checkmate (optional)
The Checkmate is a special valve that may be
installed between the base socket (or the connecting
block) and the gauge assembly to shut off the flow. It
permits the removal of the gauge for repair or
maintenance without affecting the mainstream. It
also reduces exposure of the metering components to
contamination, and prevents damage from hydraulic
shock in the main line.
There are two types of Checkmates available. The
N type is available in nickel plated brass, and
316SS. It is rated at 140F (60C) and 150 psi (10
KgF/cm2) maximum.
The K type Checkmate is available in nickel plated
brass, 316SS, and PVC. The metal K type
Checkmates are rated at 194F (90C) and 300 psi
(20 KgF/cm2) maximum. Adding optional Teflon
An optional alarm module is available that mounts on

the side of the gauge assembly. The module may be
positioned vertically to sense the float position at any
point across the calibrated range of the tapered tube.
The module senses whether the special magnetic float
is above or below the set position of the module.
There are two alarm modules. The model HV-100L
produces a relay contact closure on low flow, and
model HV-100H produces a relay contact closure on
high flow. It is possible to mount both high and low
flow alarms. The relay contact is rated 1 amp
maximum at 120 VAC, and the module must be
powered with 12 VDC10%, 100ma. Power supply is
not included with alarm modules.
Disassembly
With the cap removed, the strainer can easily be taken out
for cleaning. The metering tube components should be

The flow ranges for FLOW CELL air flowmeters are calibrated in SCFM flowing at 68F
and 1 atm pressure or NM3 per hour flowing at 20C and 1 atm pressure. Since air is
a compressible fluid, the actual flow rate will differ from the gauge reading if the air
flowing through the meter is at a different temperature or pressure. The following
equation may be used to correct for gauge readings:
A one inch FLOW CELL is rated at a maximum flow rate of

25 SCFM at 68F and 1 atm pressure. The actual maximum
flow rate at 120 psig and 90F would be:
Where:
F = actual flow rate
G = FLOW CELL gauge reading
P1= absolute pressure of air flowing. (absolute pressure = P+1.03 for Kg/cm2 and
P+14.7 for PSI)
P0= absolute pressure of air for which gauge is calibrated. (Std. gauge would
be 14.7 psia or 1.03 KgF/cm2A).
T1 = absolute temperature for air flowing. (absolute temp. = T+273 for C and
T+460 for F)
T0 = absolute temperature of air for which gauge is calibrated. (Std. guage would
be 293 for C and 528 for F).
AquaMatic can supply FLOW CELL flowmeters with gauges that are calibrated to your
specific temperature and pressure conditions. FLOW CELL flowmeters are also
available calibrated for gases other than air.

Engineering and Purchasing Specifications:

The flowmeter shall be of the orifice plate by-pass design, consisting of a base socket with integral orifice plate that
can be installed directly in the main pipeline regardless of upward, downward or horizontal flow direction; and a
variable area gauge calibrated to provide a direct reading of the total flowrate. The gauge shall mount directly to the
base socket without interconnecting pipe, and include an integral strainer to filter out material contaminants which
may be removed for cleaning.
The flowmeter shall be similar in all respects to the FLOW CELL flowmeter distributed by
