Managing water flow across multiple tanks can be challenging—especially in apartments, commercial buildings, and large facilities where overflows, shortages, and water wastage are common. That’s where Waltr V steps in. This smart solution automatically controls water inflow to tanks, helping prevent waste, reduce utility costs, and ensure a smooth, uninterrupted water supply. In this blog, we’ll explore what Waltr V is, how it works, its key features, straightforward installation process, simple maintenance tips, and how it transforms water management into a smarter, more reliable system.
What is Waltr V?
Waltr V is a smart automatic control valve that regulates water flow into multiple tanks. It opens or closes valves based on real-time water level data from Waltr A (the water level monitor) and Waltr C (the water pump controller). Installed on the pipes, Waltr V stops water from flowing into tanks that are already full, preventing overflow. Simultaneously, it directs water to tanks that need filling. This means no more manual checks or adjustments to valves and tanks.
Waltr V connects with the Waltr IoT app, so you can monitor valve status, receive alerts about valve activity or low battery, view detailed logs, and control the system easily from your phone or tablet.
How Does Waltr V Work?
Waltr V is an intelligent part of the Waltr device ecosystem, working seamlessly through coordinated communication between Waltr A, Waltr C, and itself to automate water valve control efficiently.
Waltr A, our advanced water level indicator, uses radar sensors to continuously monitor water levels in each tank. It sends real-time data indicating whether a tank is running low or full.
Based on this data, Waltr C — the smart water pump controller — automatically starts the pump when water is needed and stops it once the tank reaches the desired level. This ensures efficient pump operation without manual checks.
Next, Waltr V — the wireless valve controller — receives signals from Waltr A and Waltr C to determine which tank requires water. It then opens or closes the appropriate valve, directing water flow to that specific tank. Tanks are filled one at a time in sequence, preventing overflow and ensuring smooth water distribution across all tanks.
Together, Waltr A, C, and V create a fully automated and intelligent water management system that saves time, avoids water wastage, and eliminates the need for manual operation.
In case of communication failures or low battery situations, Waltr V defaults the valve to the open position. This safety feature guarantees uninterrupted water supply, preventing disruption during power or signal loss.
Operating Modes
Waltr V offers three distinct operating modes for flexibility and control:
Automatic Mode: Fully automated control within the Waltr ecosystem, receiving real-time commands from Waltr A and Waltr C.
Semi-Automatic Mode: Manual valve operation using an Allen key, useful during initial setup or minor adjustments.
Manual Override Mode: Full manual control to ensure valve operation when power or signal is unavailable, serving as a dependable fallback.
Key Features of Waltr V
Smart Automatic Valve Control
Waltr V intelligently controls valves based on real-time data from Waltr A and Waltr C. This integration ensures timely and efficient water distribution, eliminates manual intervention, and prevents overflow or dry tanks, especially in multi-tank systems.
Stainless Steel Motorised Valve
The motorised valve is built with high-quality stainless steel, brass, and polycarbonate for strength and durability. Its rust-resistant stainless steel and brass components ensure reliable water flow control, while the tough polycarbonate housing protects against weather and impact. Suitable for indoor and outdoor setups, it handles frequent on-off cycles with ease.
Solar-Powered with Battery Backup
Designed for energy efficiency and independence, Waltr V is powered by solar energy with a built-in 2500mAh lithium-ion battery. This battery supports around 3 to 4 days of operation without sunlight, based on average usage (typically three open/close cycles daily). The system also provides low battery alerts via the Waltr app, helping users maintain optimal performance without disruption.
Safety and Reliability
Waltr V is engineered for safe, continuous operation. If battery voltage drops below 3.4V, the valve automatically opens to ensure water continues to flow, preventing dry tanks. Its weatherproof construction supports outdoor installation, and a deep sleep mode conserves power between operations, extending battery life without compromising responsiveness.
Wide Compatibility
Waltr V supports common pipe types including CPVC, UPVC, PVC, and GI, fitting pipe sizes of 1 inch, 1.5 inches, 2 inches, and 3-inch diameter pipelines. This flexibility allows hassle-free integration with most existing water systems, eliminating the need for special fittings or complex modifications.
Real-Time App Monitoring and Control
Waltr V integrates with the Waltr IoT app, enabling remote monitoring of valve status, alerts for malfunctions or low battery, and access to detailed historical logs. Users can also receive remote firmware upgrades, ensuring continuous performance optimization and convenient management from anywhere.
Multiple Operating Modes
Waltr V’s three operating modes—Automatic, Semi-Automatic, and Manual Override—provide flexible control suited to different scenarios. Automatic Mode enables full automation within the Waltr ecosystem. Semi-Automatic Mode allows manual valve operation with an Allen key during setup or adjustments. Manual Override ensures valve operation when power or signal is lost.
Installation of Waltr V
Installing Waltr V requires professional plumbing knowledge to ensure proper setup and secure connections. With standard tools like blades, glue, wrenches, and fittings, a skilled installer can complete the job within 1 to 2 hours, depending on pipe type.
What You’ll Need:
Standard plumbing tools like blades, wrenchers, glue, pipe pieces.
