Tower blow down valve needed

in THE MAIN WALL

I am looking for an alternate electric valve (110 volt) for a blow down line for a cooling tower. We normally use a red hat solenoid valve, diaphragm type. For some reason they tend to leak more easily causing water treatment to be lost from the tower Maybe a ball valve type would be better.

I did not know if anyone knew of ball valve type that is controlled by a 110 volt actuator. 3/4" fpt. thanks to all

    Everyone make them. But as @Steamhead mentioned Belimo is one of the most popular.

    You should have a strainer before that valve.

    Any motorized valve will work.

    Daily makeup water readings should be taken to notice the issue before losing all those chemicals.
