Automatic Multiport Valve (Auto MPV) – Overview
An Automatic Multiport Valve (Auto MPV) is a motor-driven valve used in filtration and water softening systems to automate the process of backwashing, rinsing, regeneration, and service, eliminating the need for manual intervention. It is often paired with FRP tanks in residential, commercial, and industrial water treatment setups.
