OPTI-MAX® check valves offer many advantages over OEM check valve systems. They are better designed, better made, and more reliable than any other aftermarket check valve product. Be sure to check out OPTI-MAX® Conversion Kits - all the OPTI-MAX® cartridge check valves you need for your pump, value priced in a single kit. OPTI-MAX® Cartridges: A Universal Solution A single OPTI-MAX® cartridge is interchangeable across multiple pump brands, and will function in either the inlet or outlet position, allowing you to minimize the number of spare check valve cartridges you keep on hand, and dramatically reducing the cost of inventory required to cover your emergency maintenance needs.
Free-Turn™ Housings: An Optimize Innovation Most of our OPTI-MAX® check valve housings are supplied in a Free-Turn™ configuration. This means that the nut and thread used to tighten the housing into a pump head spin independently from the inner housing body where the connecting tubing and cartridge reside. This allows you to remove your housing from the pump head without having to first disconnect the tubing. Imagine - if you need to replace a check valve, there's only one nut to loosen, one simple cartridge to replace, and one nut to retighten again. With OPTI-MAX®, you can completely replace a check valve cartridge in two minutes!
A Better Check Valve
 |
Tighter specifications make a better valve. A check valve can only function effectively if it is seating properly, reacting to changes in the piston direction. The seating process is fairly simple - the ball lands on the seat and creates a seal - but there are many factors that contribute to optimal seating. At Optimize, we engineer our check valves to be as responsive as possible, scrutinizing every detail.
Each ball and seat set is individually matched to ensure a lock-and-key fit. This guarantees 3 bubbles/minute or less in the industry standard nitrogen bubble test; common acceptable standards are 12 bubbles or less. We have also cut down on the ball travel distance within the check valve: less distance to travel means quicker seating and response. |
