AQ Matic Valves & Controls in Indonesia

Short answer: AQ Matic and AquaMatic provide valves, stagers, controllers, and fluid ejectors for sequencing softener regeneration, filter backwash, deionization, and chemical draw. Select the product from the process function, number of stages, service and backwash flow, pressure, wetted materials, and the available control system.

PT Watermart Perkasa supplies AQ Matic and AquaMatic components in Indonesia for commercial, industrial, and municipal installations. This page helps buyers distinguish the product families before requesting a quotation; the final model must still be matched to the process diagram, hydraulic data, fluid, and automation requirements.

Select the AQ Matic family by system function

AQ Matic is not one type of valve. The range includes components with separate jobs: a process valve opens or closes flow, a stager sequences positions, a controller determines when the sequence runs, and an ejector produces suction for brine or regenerant draw.

Process requirement	Product family to assess	Selection data
Open and close service, backwash, rinse, or regeneration lines	AQ Matic automatic diaphragm valve	Pipe size, flow, pressure, fluid, wetted material, and safe position after control failure
Sequence several valves on a filter, softener, or deionizer	AquaMatic 48, 51, or 58 Series stager	Number of positions and valves, sequence diagram, stage duration, actuation method, and panel environment
Start regeneration from time or water use	962 or NXT controller, depending on configuration	Flow-meter signal, stage count, start mode, relays/interlocks, power, and communication requirement
Draw brine, acid, alkali, or another regenerant	540, 541, 542, 544, or 546 fluid ejector	Inlet and discharge pressure, suction lift, specific gravity, concentration, temperature, pipe size, and draw rate

To compare AQ Matic with other options, review the filter and softener control-valve range. A proposed system should also be checked against the sequence required for softening, media filtration, or mixed-bed deionization.

AQ Matic in borehole and water-softener systems

In a borehole water system, AQ Matic is relevant when media filters or softeners must move through service, backwash, rinse, and regeneration in sequence. Before selecting a valve or controller, provide the service and backwash flow, actual pressure, tank count, process sequence, and feed-water quality; see the borehole water-system guide for the treatment train after the pump.

For a water softener, the key data are resin volume, hardness, peak flow, tank size, and the required brine-draw or refill step. A controller and valve must follow the designed cycle rather than connection size alone; the softening application guide is a useful starting checklist before requesting a quotation.

The 962 controller runs time- or flow-initiated cycles

The AQ Matic 962 Series is an electronic stager controller for softener and filter regeneration sequences. Available product data list up to 15 programmable steps, 0–255 minutes per step, flow-meter inputs, manual or remote regeneration, and relay outputs for integrating other devices.

962 Series parameter	Product data
Power supply	230/115 VAC (±10%), 50/60 Hz
Maximum rated power	4 W
Enclosure	NEMA 4XFG fiberglass
Sequence	Up to 15 steps; 0–255 minutes per step
Inputs and outputs	Flow-meter input, relays, and 12 VDC supply for a turbine meter
Power-loss retention	Optional battery backup for up to 8 hours

A controller still needs the correct cycle program. Before commissioning, document valve positions for service, backwash, brine or chemical draw, slow rinse, fast rinse, and return to service; then test interlocks and the response to loss of flow signal or power.

The 48, 51, and 58 stagers sequence pilot valves

An AquaMatic stager is a rotary multiport pilot valve that sends sequential signals to diaphragm valves. In the available product data, the 48 and 51 Series use brass construction, while the 58 Series uses PVC and provides more ports for complex multi-bed or deionizer systems.

Series	Ports in the listed configuration	Material	Common duty
48	6	Brass	Softener or filter with a shorter sequence
51	8	Brass	Softener or filter with more positions
58	16	PVC	Multi-bed or deionizer with a complex sequence

Port count alone does not select a stager. The piping and instrumentation diagram must show which valve is open at each step, which paths must never open together, and how the system returns to a safe state after an interruption.

The AquaMatic Stagers Overview describes the range, while the Stagers Master Chart helps match configurations.

Select a fluid ejector from pressure and suction demand

AQ Matic/AquaMatic fluid ejectors use motive flow to create vacuum and draw solution. PVC bodies are available with NPT or socket connections from ½ to 2 inches. Product data list an operating range of 20–125 psi (1.37–8.6 bar) and temperatures up to 140°F (60°C), but actual draw rate depends on inlet pressure, backpressure, nozzle, throat, specific gravity, and suction-line condition.

Series	Nominal size	Connection options
540	½ inch	NPT or 540S socket
541	¾ inch	NPT or 541S socket
542	1 inch	NPT or 542S socket
544	1½ inch	NPT or 544S socket
546	2 inches	NPT or 546S socket

Do not select an ejector from pipe diameter alone. Use the performance curves to check motive flow and draw factor at actual pressure, then verify PVC, seal, and tubing compatibility with NaCl brine, HCl, NaOH, H₂SO₄, or the solution being used. Provide isolation, a check valve, and a flushing procedure according to the system safety design.

Prepare these data for an AQ Matic quotation

Complete data speed up model selection and prevent a valve or ejector from becoming a hydraulic restriction. Prepare:

1. Duty: filter, softener, deionizer, mixed bed, chemical induction, or fluid transfer.
2. Flow diagram and the service, backwash, rinse, regeneration, and standby sequence.
3. Minimum, normal, peak, and backwash flow; inlet, outlet, and drain pressure.
4. Pipe size and material, connection type, temperature, and available installation space.
5. Name, concentration, specific gravity, and temperature of every fluid touching the component.
6. Power supply, flow-meter signal, PLC/relay, interlocks, valve count, and safe position after loss of power or pilot pressure.
7. Nameplate photographs and part numbers for replacements or spare parts.

Send these data through the PT Watermart Perkasa contact page so the team can review the appropriate product family, configuration, and documents.

Frequently asked questions about AQ Matic

What is the difference between an automatic valve, a stager, and a controller?

An automatic valve controls process flow. A stager distributes pilot signals in a mechanical sequence, while a controller sets the timing or trigger for that sequence. One system may use all three together.

Is a fluid ejector the same as a dosing pump?

No. An ejector uses flow energy and differential pressure to create suction; a dosing pump uses a pumping mechanism to move a chemical volume. Selection depends on the pressure profile, accuracy, turndown, interlocks, and chemical properties.

What minimum data are needed to select an ejector?

Provide the solution and concentration, specific gravity, required draw rate, inlet pressure, backpressure, suction lift, pipe size, temperature, and permitted materials. Connection size alone is not enough.

Where can buyers review the complete product family?

The AQ Matic valves and controls catalog covers valve, stager, controller, ejector, and fluid-handling families. Match the catalog model to its datasheet and application diagram before ordering.
