    SV-1 has poor flow rate

    I have a Neptune controller and atk. So far it has been working great. I decided to attach my 25gal ATO to my atk via gravity fed through the sv-1 but the flow rate Is horrible. Just letting the water flow through the ro line has a decent flow but after the valve it's just a quick drip. It's so slow that the atk defaults to off state when trying to run

    Is your float positioned correctly?

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    Should be. I have the magnetic holder. I also tested the flow without anything on the out end of the sv-1

    The float should be perfectly horizontal when you push it up til it stops. Is It? If not you need to adjust it.

    The float is in the proper position. Should I be able to see through the solenoid when it's open

    SV-1 has poor flow rate

    If you turn the ATK on, do you feel/hear the solenoid open?

    Where is the power to the ATK coming from?
