Hudson Valve

Too many overflows! I installed a Hudson valve, works great but i'm getting a sense that my tanks are taking longer to fill. My imagination or do these valves restrict some water flow?

I've always used one so I wouldn't know the difference. I do know that since I went to a 1 inch supply hose it seems to allow my tank to fill faster! Even a couple of my guys noticed the same thing!

We use 1.5 on the hydrant and 3/4 on supply hose. I might increase up to 1 inch. with an 8 gpm & 5.5 running we can run the tank dry fast.

I like the reel set-up on the back of your trailer. Is that something you fabricated yourself? I could use more room and considering something similar.

Chances are you have a good filter before the pump, so I would get rid of the one on the valve. Also we just switched to the Abertax valve and loving it. I have yet come close to running out with 7gpm on 70 gallon tank.

Those valves will flow over 20 gallons per minute. I have always used them and I have never noticed a slowing of the flow except when the filter inside starts to get clogged.
I have 3 of them on my tank and they do a great job.
 
I use an IBC tank for my water supply and use 2 Hudsons on a 3/4 "T". I can run 8 gpm and my tank stays full to the top.

Thanks! Those are 18" cox reels on the stackable kit they make.
