What is a solenoid valve and can I hook one up to a Sterilight system?
A solenoid valve is an electrically-activated mechanical valve that opens and closes when power is applied to it. This kind of valve can be installed and wired into a Sterilight system which is monitored. If the UV intensity were to drop below the recommended level the solenoid would then be activated and automatically shut down the flow of water. This will keep contaminated water from getting through the UV system. A solenoid can be hooked up to a Sterilight system either by dry contacts (the Platinum, SUV and SUVAM systems all come equipped with dry contacts), or directly into the Sterilight system (Silver and GOLD series can be hooked up directly to a solenoid; outside power does NOT need to be brought to the solenoid).
