Can someone recommend a 1” solenoid valve or some other better option that will be located inside of the cistern tank and is rated for this wet environment. Also seeking recommendations on a float valve to go with it.
My set up is a city water flowing uphill to fill an underground 1,100gal cistern, at cistern inlet the city pressure is around 10psi and flow is around 8 gpm. I then have a submersible well pump in the cistern with a CSV and bladder tank. I had a ball float valve to shut off the incoming water but have had a valve failure 2 times in last 6 months on a system installed around 2 years ago. I need something more durable to shut off the city water when the tank is full to prevent tank overflow.
