I've played with the Hudson valves and have not had the experience of a
"snap-shut" opperation others have mentioned, nor in exploring the valve can I
see how it would. They have my pumps cycling like crazy and throttled back in
flow as the last 1/8" of water in the tank is topped off. I also found that
surface water disturbance from the discharge rocked the float only compounding
the problem. I'm back to my trusty and expensive Cla-Val valves that truly snap
open and closed. They will fill that last 1/8" in an hour where the Hudson
would take 5-6 hours. If I was running the pumps solar direct this would be
completely unacceptable. Maybe I'm just all wet from trying to make a Hudson
work as a snap vlave, but this has been my experience on a few Hudson's.
