Valley O3 System



Valley’s O3 system is an ingenious system that is small and compact, and it is designed to to facilitate the installation of a whirlpool or an air jet system easier. The air compressor pushes ozone throughout the piping or air channels of the massage systems. It has the advantage of improving the ozone production as it increases the volume of O3 and acts as an electronic control that controls all sanitation process of your massage bathtub. Additionally, there is an LED on the keypad which displays the various stages of the cycle when in process.



The O3 system has probes that detect water in the bathtub. When this happens, the system will automatically activate the waiting mode until the bathtub is empty.
When the bathtub is empty, the O3 system turns on a one-hour-delay timer and the system will then start the cleaning process for 15 minutes to sanitize the whirlpool piping or the air channel of the bathtub.



Another great thing about Valley’s O3 system is that there is no maintenance required. The O3 system is perfect for our bathtub massage systems because its major role is to act as a water purifier, ensuring that fresh water is always being supplied and minimizing dirt residues.

What is the difference between a Pressure Balance Valve and a Thermostatic Valve?

What is the difference between a Pressure Balance Valve and a Thermostatic Valve?

Have you ever seen in the movies when someone is in the shower and another person flushes the toilet and the water temperature in the shower changes? Or does this often happen to you?

This is because the pressure balance valve is missing!
The pressure balance valve prevents that from happening by reacting to the changes in the pressure of the delivery water. Both hot and cold water are fed to the pressure balance valve, and it makes sure that the water leaving the pressure balance valve is a constant mixture of both, even if the pressure of the two sources changes.
Since the valve can prevent scalding, they are now required in most new home construction. One may also invest in a new pressure balance valve to replace an old style valve in an older home; however, please keep in mind that a certified plumber is usually needed for the installation.



One major disadvantage of a pressure balance valve is that it can provide limited flow rate control, whereas a thermostatic valve provides a much better temperature control and a full range of flow rate control.



Thermostatic valves are more than double the cost of a pressure balance valve, but it delivers a more comfortable shower experience. Both valves serve the same purpose but aren’t exactly the same, and they are essential for bathroom plumbing. It depends on the customers’ choice of which valve they find will be best suitable for them. Our friendly and knowledgeable staff can also help you with any further questions!
