The case for change

What pumps cost you on accuracy and control

You care about dose accuracy, control and integration. Stroke-based pumps pulse, drift as they wear and fight your control loop. No pulsation means the residual your analysers see stays stable, and the dose tracks your signal.

01

Pulsation errors costing you compliance

Stroke-based pumps create pulsation at low flows, causing dosing inaccuracy, downstream mixing problems, and dose logs that cannot be defended in an audit.

02

Tubing failures and unplanned downtime

Peristaltic tubing splits under chemical exposure. Every failure means a reactive call-out, replacement parts, and a window where dosing has stopped entirely.

03

High maintenance across multiple failure points

Check valves, diaphragms, tubing, and motors all need regular servicing. Each failure point is a separate maintenance task and a separate cost line.

04

Accuracy drift as components wear

Pump accuracy degrades as internals wear. The further from original design point, the worse the drift, and the harder it is to keep dose logs within spec.

Dual D-Flex Diaphragm

Media contacts only the diaphragm faces and valve body. No sliding seals, no o-ring rub, no tubing in the flow path. Chemical isolation by design.

Balanced Poppet

Upstream pressure variation is equalised at the seat. Dosing volume per pulse stays consistent regardless of supply fluctuations, over the full life of the valve.

Smart dosing integration

How AQUAIOT connects MAC valves to your water system

From sensor input to auditable dose log, in four steps.

1

Monitor

AQUAIOT sensors measure flow, conductivity, and water quality in real time. Data streams to the edge controller continuously.

2

Decide

Cloud logic and local edge rules calculate the dosing requirement against set-points, flow conditions, and time windows.

3

Dose

The MAC LBV fires precise solenoid pulses. Pulse width, frequency, and duration are all configurable from the AQUAIOT dashboard.

4

Prove

Every dose event is logged with timestamp, volume and sensor context, with PWM or proportional control and audit-ready exports into AQUAIOT Cloud.

Integration and control

Built for your existing infrastructure

SCADA and BMS

MODBUS RS485 and API connections. Direct integration with existing control systems without replacing your architecture.

Closed-loop dosing

Flow, conductivity, or quality sensor feedback adjusts dosing in real time. No manual trim, no operator intervention.

Compliance logging

Timestamped dose records with full trendlines. Exportable data into AQUAIOT Cloud for performance evidence and reporting.

4G and LoRaWAN

Secure cellular telemetry. Encrypted payloads, over-the-air configuration, remote firmware updates.

PWM and proportional

On/off pulse, pulse-width modulation, or 0-10V / 4-20mA proportional control from one valve platform.

Cloud dashboard

Trendlines, alarms, analytics, role-based access, and data export from the AQUAIOT platform.

By process

Where the control fits

Flow-proportional and residual-trim dosing across your processes. Browse the full chemical dosing valve range.

Accuracy without drift

The balanced poppet holds dose per pulse over the full life, so residuals stay steady and your analysers see a clean signal.

On/off, PWM or proportional control with PTFE, FKM or EPDM materials matched to your chemistry, logged into AQUAIOT Cloud.

Precision control

Water treatment plants

Flow-proportional coagulant, pH and chlorine dosing for stable residuals.

Potable and process

Wastewater treatment

Accurate ferric and polymer dosing for tighter phosphorus consents.

Effluent

Cooling towers

Steady biocide, scale and corrosion dosing that supports your Legionella regime.

Common questions

Water treatment engineer questions

Via a high-speed solenoid supporting on/off, pulse-width modulation or proportional control, so it fits flow-proportional and residual-trim strategies.
The body and elastomer, PTFE, FKM or EPDM, are selected for the media. Share your chemical, concentration and temperature so the right build is specified.
BV214 and BV221 cores cover micro-litre to low-L/min dosing at up to roughly 8 to 10 bar, depending on orifice, body and elastomer selection.
The balanced poppet equalises upstream pressure variation, so dose volume per pulse stays consistent regardless of supply fluctuations, unlike a pump that drifts with wear.
There is no tubing to replace, no check valves to service and no motor wear. Cartridge-replaceable internals mean field service without removing the valve from the manifold.
Yes. MODBUS RS485 and API connections for SCADA, BMS, CAFM and the AQUAIOT cloud platform, with closed-loop control from flow, conductivity or water quality feedback.
