A foot valve is basically a combination Check Valve and Filter Screen and is installed at the bottom of a suction line in a well, pond, lake, or other storage vessel.
The check valve component is designed to close off as soon as the pump stops, thus maintaining its prime. The coarse filter screen fitted to the valve’s inlet allows the valve to sit up off the bottom of the well so that it has a large, unrestricted area for suction and minimal pressure drop. It also prevents debris from entering the seating area and stopping the check valve from shutting tightly.
Hidroten’s foot valves also include a hook to enable it to be held off the ground by using a buoy to further reduce the chances of debris entering the valve. The Hidroten foot valves is made out plastic, making it an excellent option for most applications and includes a soft seat with bubble tight shut-off is essential to prevent loss of prime.
