Saltwater safe solenoid?

[InfernoST]

Hi All
Does anyone know where I can get a SW SAFE solenoid for use with water not Co2?

Thanks

Check out STC Valves. They may have something you’re looking for. I purchase my solenoid valve from them for my kalk reactor.

Thanks mheaven. Can you use brass solenoids?

Thanks mheaven. Can you use brass solenoids?

Would not recommend using brass, brass corrodes very easily. If possible I would recommend using a solenoid with stainless steel parts or a mixture of plastic and stainless steel.

You will also want to find one with a built strainer, it will help keep small particles getting into the moving parts. The last thing you want is for the solenoid to get stuck.

Thanks for the help, that's what I'll look for.
