wanted supplier of solenoid valves

[Bad Inferno]

Does anybody know where to buy solenoid valves.....still looking to automate my water changes.

The garden type valves need main water pressure to operate...I am looking for a valve that can be used on gravity feed or low pressure which is low voltage operation

I look on ebay all the time..actually I work for Honeywell and have just found out I can get a discount for the valves they use in airconditioning. think they are 3/4" or 1/2" 24VDC brass. I think I have a great solution to empty filling by just tee'ing into the canister lines and having the water reserve which is outside higher than the tank.. ie gravity feed into the canister inlet.

OK I bit the bullet and just purchased two 3/8" 24VDC solenoids from www.valvesonline.com.au

I now have

2 off float switches for tank level
24VDC power supply
relay board to drive solenoids
2 x 24VDC solenoids
programmable controller
LCD display
