The OPTI-FLOW® system is a discrete position-indicating device. When used with check valves in water/wastewater systems, it will give positive feedback to a monitoring device or control panel that the pump is actively moving water.
Key Benefits
Confirms actual flow, not just valve position
Signals automatic shutdown when no flow is detected
Becomes part of the valve arm. No exposed components to break
Simple retrofit, no special tools required

Features
The OPTI-FLOW™ can be used on chain or gearbox-driven clarifiers. Once the clarifier arm(s) tilt the OPTI-FLOW™, its dry contact output can be used to turn a pump on or send feedback to a PLC that the arm(s) are still on the proper track.
Simple Retrofit, No Special Tools Required
OPTI-FLOW™ is a simple retrofit that mounts directly onto your existing check valve arm with an adjustable bracket. Available in 25’, 50’ and 75’ in PVC or aluminum. Ex: OPTI-FAL125 or OPTI-PVC125

Frequently Asked Questions
How is this different from the limit switches we're already using?
How is this different from the limit switches we're already using?
Limit switches indicate valve position only and commonly break when the check valve arm slams down. OPTI-FLOW™ confirms actual flow, not just valve position, and becomes part of the valve arm with no exposed components to break.
Can we install it without modifying our existing check valve?
Can we install it without modifying our existing check valve?
Yes. OPTI-FLOW™ is a simple retrofit that mounts directly onto your existing check valve arm with an adjustable bracket. No special tools required.
Does it just send an alert, or can it shut the pump down on its own?
Does it just send an alert, or can it shut the pump down on its own?
Both. OPTI-FLOW™ signals automatic shutdown when no flow is detected and can be wired to trigger an alarm or horn for immediate notice.
