ASCO 8210G095 120VAC vs 8210G009 12DC

[AdrenalineJunky]

I see that many folks here have upgraded their older Flow-rite (wrong) ballast valves and control cable systems with the ASCO 8210G095. This is a 120VAC valve. I read that they open in 3-4 seconds using the 12 VDC source from the fill switch on the dash and there have been no issues with them. I called ASCO and talked to the tech. He said that I need the 8210G009 12DC and it will open instantly in milliseconds as opposed to 3-4.

I have not see mention of the ASCO 12V valves in any of the threads I have read through. Is there a reason why?

It just seems like he right fit. Has anyone used the 12VDC in their setups?

Thanks for the input,

Mike

I just installed these.

I can hear them open with the button push and the pump turn on, but I have not had them in the water yet to test.

Good point STEVEMO, Those valves are like 1/3 the price...

Question for everyone else, what other valves are you guys using and have had success with?

Thanks again!

Sorry to bring this thread back to life, but I am looking to replace the Flow-rite ballast valves in my newly acquired 05 SANTE 211 with some solenoid valves. Curious how these worked out for either of you five years later. Did they stand the test of time?
