Discover seamless water level management with the Ball float valve type Athena | CSA. Designed for consistent performance and durability, this essential device is the ultimate solution for automatic water regulation in tanks and reservoirs. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your water systems are safeguarded against unwanted overflow or depletion.

Key Features & Benefits of Ball float valve type Athena | CSA

  • Effortless Water Regulation: The ball float automatically adjusts the water flow, keeping levels just right without any manual work required.
  • Robust Construction: Manufactured with high-grade, corrosion-resistant materials, it withstands constant exposure to water for uninterrupted operation year after year.
  • Leak-Proof Performance: Carefully engineered to prevent leaks, it minimizes water wastage and maintains efficient system operation.
  • Simple Installation: Designed for straightforward fitting into a variety of tanks and storage units, making upgrades or replacements quick and hassle-free.
  • Low Maintenance: Reliable design means fewer breakdowns and less frequent servicing, saving you both time and money.
  • Safe for Potable Water: Constructed from materials suitable for drinking water, ensuring healthy and safe water supply for every use.
  • Energy-Free Operation: Utilizes mechanical motion of the float, requiring no power source, making it a green solution for water control.

The Ball float valve type Athena | CSA is the smart choice for those who value simplicity and reliability. Its smart float system detects water levels, automatically letting in more water when needed and shutting off when the tank is full. This prevents both overfilling and running dry, keeping your water supply steady.

Thanks to its robust design, the valve resists rust and wear even in continuous use. Installation couldn’t be easier: just fit it into your tank, connect your water supply, and the system is ready to go—no complicated steps or special tools required.

Perfect for home, farm, or business use, the Ball float valve type Athena | CSA guarantees stable water levels with almost no effort. Its energy-free, eco-friendly mechanism makes it the right fit for anyone looking to control water efficiently and responsibly, all while enjoying the best in safety and reliability.

Datasheet and documents

Description

Equilibrium mechanical ball float valve

The CSA Mod. ATHENA, with a three ways body in ductile cast iron and internals in stainless steel, is used to automatically control the levels in tanks and reservoirs with an angle or globe pattern orientation regardless of upstream pressure variations. Thanks to an exclusive upstream pressure balanced self-cleaning piston technology, the valve will guarantee for absence of chattering and surges during opening and closing in case of built up back pressure, drastically reducing the maintenance operations and possible damages to the pipeline.

Product features

• Body and cover in ductile cast iron GJS 450-10.

• Float and rod in stainless steel.

• Internals in stainless steel.

• Self-cleaning piston technology.

• Painting with fluidized bed technology RAL 5005.

Connections

• Flanges size from DN 50 to DN 300 mm.

• Flanges standard EN 1092/2, different on request.

Standard

• Design and testing according to EN 1074.

Working conditions

• Pressure range: 10-16 bar.

• Minimum inlet pressure: 0 bar.

• Treated water maximum 60°C, higher temperature on request.

Certifications

Quality e certifications

Quality in its entirety is now an essential requirement for all businesses that aim at gaining and maintaining their position in today's market.

For this reason we have always had the objective of guaranteeing a product managing cycle which, developing a synergy between the various sectors of the company ensures:

  • Quick and precise information.
  • Evaluation of data received and immediate responses.
  • Rigorous control of incoming and outgoing products.

The production cycle, targets a constant improvement of our products, aims at complete customer satisfaction ensures predetermined margins of tolerance establishing production standards so as to guarantee that the semi-finished products reach the next production stage with the required specifications.

All our valves are made of ductile cast iron GJS 450-10 and in absolute compliance with Italian and European standards and are designed to work at a pressure of 25-40 bars. The work is carried out only by means of numerically controlled lathes, mills, horizontal machining units and subsequently examined step-by-step following strict procedures. Internal components of our valves are largely made of stainless steel or other high resistant materials for the maximum prevention of cavitation effects and corrosion.

Painting, pre-treated by sand-blasting grade SA 2,5, is carried out inside a fluidized bed containing epoxy powder, which guarantees maximum surface protection.

All our products are tested under water pressure and certified.
