    Minimal Flow though SV-1

    Greetings,
    I am using a gravity feed for my ATO and the ATK. I have a SV-1 Solenoid valve on the line going to the float valve. This worked fine for a few months but recently I have noticed the ATO is not filling the tank. Sensors are clean and reading properly. After looking at it further I am getting plenty of flow before the solenoid but only a small drip on the otherside when it is opened. I am thinking there might be some debris in the valve and was able to blow air through it.

    Looking for suggestions on either taking it apart to look for obstructions or if anyone has had this issue.

    Thanks.

    The first thing I would try is manually cycling the valve several times in rapid succession. That might clear the debric. The other thing I would do is with the valve in the open position (actuated/powered on) I would disconnect both hoses and run a pipe cleaner through the valve to make sure it is clear of debris. Maybe even something like a bamboo skewer if it is stubborn.

    So any luck with this? I bought the valve new and the flow through the line before the sv-1 is a decent stream but after only a quick dripping

    Yes I was able to get it working properly,. I cycled it several times and tapped it in something hard to try and dislodge any particles that could be present. Afterwords I was able to get a steady stream out of it.
