Autodos Valve 1/4″

Precision Flow Control for Automatic Dosing Systems

This Autodos 1/4″ Valve is a specialized component designed for automatic chemical dosing and flow control in hot tub and spa systems. The compact 1/4″ configuration makes it ideal for small-bore applications where precise fluid control is essential.

What is This Valve Used For?

This valve is typically used in automatic dosing systems to control the flow of chemicals, water, or air through small diameter tubing. In hot tub applications, such valves regulate the delivery of sanitizers, pH adjusters, and other treatment chemicals, ensuring accurate and consistent dosing without manual intervention.

Key Applications

• Automatic chemical dosing systems
• pH control equipment integration
• Chlorine or bromine dispensing
• Water sampling lines
• Ozone system connections
• Pressure monitoring circuits

Features & Benefits

1/4″ Threading
Standard quarter-inch threading provides compatibility with common small-bore plumbing fittings and tubing connections used in dosing equipment.

Precision Control
Designed for accurate flow regulation, ensuring chemicals are delivered in the correct quantities at the right time.

Compact Construction
At 80 grams, this lightweight valve fits easily into confined spaces within equipment cabinets and dosing system installations.

Durable Design
Built to withstand exposure to pool and spa chemicals while maintaining reliable operation over extended periods.

How Dosing Valves Work

In automatic dosing systems, valves like this open and close in response to signals from controllers or timers. When chemical levels need adjustment, the valve opens to allow flow from a dosing pump or reservoir. Once the correct amount has been delivered, the valve closes, stopping the flow until the next dosing cycle.

Installation Considerations

• Verify voltage requirements before connecting to control systems
• Install in accessible location for maintenance and inspection
• Ensure proper orientation as specified by manufacturer
• Use appropriate thread sealant for leak-free connections
• Test operation before putting system into regular service

Common Uses in Spa Systems

Chemical Feed Control
Regulates the flow of sanitizers and pH adjusters from dosing pumps to the main water circulation.

Automated Water Treatment
Works with controllers to maintain optimal water chemistry without constant manual testing and adjustment.

System Protection
Prevents overdosing by precisely controlling chemical delivery based on water quality readings.

Why This Component Matters

Automatic dosing systems rely on precision valves to maintain water quality consistently. Manual chemical addition can lead to fluctuating sanitizer levels and pH imbalances. This 1/4″ valve enables automated systems to deliver exact amounts of treatment chemicals, resulting in better water quality, reduced chemical waste, and less hands-on maintenance.
