These valves are designed as a system with the Balance Tank, not as an independent product — specifying the float valve without matching it to the tank's surge capacity defeats the water-level regulation it's built to provide.
A pool or aquarium balance tank's water level lives or dies on this valve's modulation range — 20-80% open across an 18"-30"+ float travel is a genuinely different control problem than a simple on/off float valve, which is why Fluidtrol builds it as a matched system with the tank rather than a bolt-on accessory.
