Product Information
ELECTRONIC AQUAVALVE
The TruDesign Electronic Aquavalve is designed and made in New Zealand for use in applications where remote
“Push Button” diversion and control of the flow of water or effluent is desired.
Typically used in marine toilet applications where protection for the environment necessitates the need to control
effluent discharge – in many countries this is governed by regulation. The effluent can be held in a holding tank for
later discharge overboard or to a shore side facility.
The TruDesign Electronic Aquavalve is moulded from a glass reinforced nylon composite. High strength high-modulus
glass fibres impregnated into the nylon provides dramatic strength, stiffness, toughness and dimensional stability.
The Electronic Aquavalve is compliant with standards regarding electronic emissions.

INSTALLATION
The Tru-Design Aquavalve is the most versatile valve on the market today. Full Installation instructions are supplied
with each Aquavalve.
A large range of Tails is available to suit individual plumbing layouts, and piping sizes. When combined with the seals
supplied, fittings can be oriented to suit the confined spaces encountered in marine plumbing.
For the full range of Accessories see PIS – Aquavalve Accessories
SERVICING
The Electronic Aquavalve is supplied with full servicing instructions. It is recommended that the seal is greased
regularly with Silicone grease. It is recommended the Aquavalve be “operated” once a month to ensure build up is
cleared in the valve.
A service kit is available. The service kit includes grease
and seals.
Red and Blue Seals are used to alter the orientation of
the fittings (Blue Seal is thicker). These are available if
plumbing layouts need to be changed in the future.
The spanner can often be misplaced, so when changing plumbing layouts etc, a new spanner can be supplied.
A spare motor sub assembly is available along with control panel.
