Product Information

The Autotrol® 168 Valve with 440 Clock Control, without cover.

Efficient heavy-duty, high capacity water conditioning

The 168 Valve offers advantages such as simple design, rugged Noryl* construction, efficient performance, plus proven reliability worldwide - all these features in a heavy-duty valve.

The 168 Valve is a rugged commercial-styled valve specifically designed for large residential and commercial water systems with the most severe problems requiring higher flow rates and capacities.

During normal conditioning, untreated water enters the system through an inlet at the top of the conditioning tank. As it flows down through the conditioning bed, foreign particles are filtered and minerals collect on the ion exchange resin, providing conditioned water for home or commercial applications.

During the regeneration cycle, the 168 Valve automatically regenerates the ion exchange resin and cleans the conditioner for foreign particles.

Handle higher residential and commercial flow rates - simply - with the 168/440.

The simple, direct action of the 168 Valve, with fewer parts than most other comparable conditioning systems, assures you of years of efficient, reliable performance. In fact, the 168 Valve has gained acceptance worldwide, with hundreds of thousands of units currently in use.

In water systems with high iron content, the 168FA Filter Valve is a recommended option for maximum filtering effectiveness.
