SENSTREE G1" Water Electric Solenoid Valve Normally Closed N/C Water Inlet Flow Switch DC 12V

Product arrived on time as described.

Eventually after being used most of the summer I've noticed a slight drop is throughout. Nevertheless, it's still working 'for now". Will re evaluate next spring/summer of 2022.

I needed a solenoid valve for an outdoor misting setup controlled by a raspberry pi, and this valve does the job. The water pressure when the valve is turned on leaves a lot to be desired, but it's about what can be expected out of a 12V system. If you have low water pressure, this valve is probably not going to work for you, expect to lose about 50% of the spigot pressure as the water flows through this valve. Under normal city water pressure, there is enough flow to power a single misting hose, however, which is exactly what I was looking for.

I guess this product is only designed for high pressure flow control and not general purpose valve open/close regardless of back pressure. I need to open a low-pressure drain line, and this valve doesn't open enough except for drips. Like an idiot, I bought two of these and both function identically, so I don't think it's a defect. Wish I had known the exact specifications before purchase, and like so many other on-line orders, what passes as specifications is often sorely lacking.

Works just fine for me
