Valve for wastewater to balance head and flow
Valve for wastewater to balance head and flow
(OP)
I am working on a wastewater system that is currently in place that we are proposing modifications to assist with the disposal beds being unequally dosed. The system is set to dose a different bed each day, but some of the beds are "paired" beds such that they are smaller than the normal bed but together equal the size of the larger single bed. both paired beds should both be dosed equally. Unfortunately one of the beds has a lower head then the other and received more of the flow while the other bed gets little to no flow. We would like to fix this. The current idea is to install a gate valve on the bed with the lower head to help adjust the head. Any additional thoughts would be helpful. Thank you.

Gate valves usually require more maintenance.
Not really a major issue. If you have a used valve sitting there, go and use it.
