This April, East Fork Irrigation District (Hood River, OR) began deployment of 20 Cla-Val XP2F-CV35 data logger and flow metering packages across their system. Cimco-GC Systems' Ray Velasquez and Cla-Val's Collin Bryant were onsite to help the East Fork team install the first unit, review startup procedures, and prepare them for the remaining installations.

There’s a lot to gain from adding data collection to your control valves. So which Cla-Val XP2F package makes sense for your valve sites? This article walks through three practical questions that help simplify the choice and make getting started easier.

Standard air valves are the right choice in most cases—until demanding conditions start taking their toll. In this article, we break down when and why certain systems require a higher-performance approach.

Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and control valves can both be used to help regulate pressures in a pump station, but careful coordination is the difference between harmony—or a fight for control. This article breaks down how to coordinate valves and VFDs for smoother startups and more efficient pump station performance.

Three Approaches to Retrofitting Your Valve: Retrofitting can expand what your existing valve can do, from adding functions to improving control, without the need for a full replacement.

Every time someone calls us about a valve that "isn’t working," we start by asking the same five questions. When you already know the answers to some of these questions before you call, it sets us up to help you get to the right fix even faster.

Designing an altitude valve isn't as simple as deciding if you need one. This article breaks down two essential pressure-related questions that form the foundation of a successful design.

While many manufacturers are pushing lead times out, Cla-Val continues to deliver—backed by quick-ship options and Cimco-GC Systems’ local inventory for when you need a valve fast.

With two powerful Cla-Val data collection options to choose between, it looks like we’ve got a good, old-fashioned showdown on our hands! Let's examine both XP2F packages and help you choose which one best fits your applications. 

Your town ain’t big enough for the two of them... or is it? 

Control valves are at the heart of the water systems in our communities. That’s why knowledge about their functionality, maintenance, and design is so essential. At Cimco-GC Systems, we encourage training at every experience level. Here are the options we recommend for operators and engineers based in the Pacific Northwest:

Cla-Val’s Link2Valves software replaces traditional record-keeping methods with a real-time, secure data management platform that simplifies valve maintenance and management across your water system. Here’s why operators are switching to Link2Valves:
