BESGO 5-way automatic valve
Besgo 5-way automatic washing valves in PVC-U.
With solenoid valves for water or air operation.
Manufactured in Switzerland since 1980, the Besgo 5-way valve is a pneumatic valve that automates the cleaning of sand, glass, or AFM® filters efficiently, easily, and safely. Thanks to a higher cleaning speed than traditional 6-way valves, the Besgo 5-way valve guarantees superior results and allows you to maximize the use of your pool while reducing maintenance time.
Benefits of Besgo 5-way valves:
- Minimum pressure drop: provides higher washing speed and better efficiency than traditional 6-way valves.
- Great installation flexibility: can be installed directly on the filter or mounted on a wall (90° swivel connections).
- Very safe operation: The valve automatically returns to “Filtration Mode” in the event of a power failure.
- Quick change: It is not necessary to stop the filtration pump to change to washing.
- Made in Switzerland: Certified high-quality product. TÜV Rheinland certified/GS mark (Safety tested).
- Suitable for all sand filters - up to 2 meters in diameter: Valves available from DN40 (50 mm) to DN125 (140 mm).
By ensuring regular and powerful cleaning, Besgo creates the conditions for crystal-clear water of the highest quality. Besgo is compatible with any type of pool water treatment, including salt water electrolysis systems.
Operation of Besgo 5-way valves:
The Besgo 5-way valve operates automatically with both water and compressed air. A connection to the water mains or a small air compressor will provide the 3.5 bar required for operation.
To program and activate the solenoid valve, a simple 230V electric controller/timer is sufficient. The solenoid valve receives electrical current and opens; the incoming pressure compresses the spring inside the Besgo valve and initiates the cleaning process. This process lasts as long as desired, as long as the solenoid valve is powered. In the event of a power failure, the Besgo valve automatically returns to its "Filter" position, making it impossible to unintentionally empty the pool.
