3-POSITION AUTOMATIC REVERSIBLE SHUT-OFF VALVE

Reversible check valve allows a single pump to perform basic livewell functions in a passive or automatic manner. It also has a third closed "recirc" position for use when outside water is not wanted or available, such as adding ice, traveling to out-of-water weigh-ins, dockside refueling, etc. By mounting the pump to the valve body, the operator only has to decide whether he wants his livewell functioning or empty. When the first fish is caught, place the valve in the "auto" position and turn on the pump. When the boat is off plane the pump will recirculate and aerate the livewell water and simultaneously blend in a portion of fresh lake water. Used livewell water is expelled out the overflow as fresh water enters to prevent ammonia build up. When the boat is put on plane, the valve?s check flapper will prevent water loss out the drain, and allow the pump to continue recirculation. Any water lost out the overflow while running on plane is automatically made up when the boat is brought off plane at the next fishing location. All this is accomplished without any operator assistance. To empty, simply turn off the pump and move the valve to the "empty" position for gravity draining. 3/4" barbed connector. Operates with MC3-03-100 actuator, sold separately.
