AQUA-BROOKS

Water remains a scarce resource, particularly in Africa. We have a vision of the Aqua-brooks float valve as the "Float Valve for Africa" and to this end are planning to distribute beyond the borders of South Africa. We are also looking at simple and inexpensive water management and information systems, based around the Aqua-brooks float valve... It earned Deryck a special Barnib Industrial Inventiveness Award and was runner-up in the Plastics Federation Design Awards in 1984. He took out a mortgage on his house in Montgomery Park to get the float valve on to the market as a water saver for toilet cisterns. It came into use in roof tanks, water troughs and swimming pools. Over time the Aqua-brooks became the "Ball Valve for the Farmer" and continues to be a low-cost and effective alternative to long-arm, brass, ball-float valves... A new product called the Aqua-level, incorporating our float valve, is now available. It is used to maintain the water level in swimming pools, koi ponds,..
