I haven’t tried these but thought about it. If you’re considering these for throttling flow rate or ease of cleaning sure, a diaphragm valve is pretty good. In my case decided on the Blichmann linear flow valves and like them; wouldn’t change. And they’re much less expensive.Anyone use the pure flow valve by ss brewtech? Wanted to know your opinion on it. Was possibly thinking of using it on my brew kettle instead of a ball valve. Thanks.
Isn’t that the truthCheaper to buy their valve tree if you need multiple of them.
At 72 dollars per valve, I’m going to have to real desperate for a change.
Yeah that’s a nice discount when buying the tree!Yea def a little pricy for the ss valve but both look really nice for ease of cleaning and flow control. I like how you can clean the diaphragm really easily as well. That is quite the discount with the valve tree.
Any more detail on your ball ache, @alphakry? I'm wanting to repeatably set a nice slow flow rate out of my MT, and (speaking of balls) my ball valve on pump outlet doesn't make that easy, as I haven't found a cheap flow meter / rotameter.I'm still considering... the Blichmann LFV valves on my Riptides are just a little too much of a ball ache to match during sparging... i'd love to see if these valves are a lot easier to match and fine tune the flows...
we're probably having similar experiences. fine tuning the riptide pump flows just isn't as easy as it should be. sometimes the difference between too much or too little is the tiniest ball hair of a turn! (lol sorry, sticking to the theme i guess... balls.)Any more detail on your ball ache, @alphakry?
