Valve uses fluid pressure, as opposed to a lever arm and ball, as the force to close the valve. The valve body is made of durable glass-filled nylon 6/6. Internal parts are of ABS plastic, silicone, and stainless steel. When properly installed, the valve will meet anti-siphon requirements. Automatically maintains desired water level in open tanks. Provides positive shut-off. Operating pressure: 1/2" - 0 - 100 lbs; 1" - 8 - 140 lbs. Flow rate approximately 80% of flow supplied to valve. 1", 40 psi will produce approx. 60 GPM; 1/2", 40 psi will produce approx. 19 GPM. Not FDA or NSF compliant. For use with water only, not for use with chemicals. Regular temp. valves up to 90° F. High temp. valves up to 150°F. Pipe fittings shown are not included.

Works well but not much longevity.
Good product. I use it to maintain the level of my 40 yr old swimming pool. I also live in Arizona with very hot summers. I know this may not have been the most common use for this product but it works well. My only gripe is that I've purchased 3 in 5 years. We rarely use the pool and I don't know what would cause the poor longevity. It's a shame because it's great when it's working.
