AQMatic™ Stager Controls
AQMatic stager controls are used to automatically control softeners, dealkalizers, sand filters, multi-media filters, cation and anion deionizers.
A stager is a motor-driven rotary multiport pilot valve, which is used to control a set of individual diaphragm valves in a predefined sequence.
Nalco Water uses AQMatic stager controls for many of the systems we manufacture. We use AQMatic valves with a variety of stager control combinations to automate the operation and/or regeneration of valve nest type water softeners and filters.
These same stager controls can be used with pneumatic actuated valves from other manufacturers if the actuators is air/spring.
Nalco Water experts have extensive knowledge in stager controls and can advise on parts and service units in the field. Contact us for AQMatic Stager Control parts, troubleshooting and service.
