Model 597
A heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant automatic monitor/control for rinse water
The Myron L CONTROLSTIK Rinse Tank System dramatically reduces the amount of water used in continuous flow rinse tanks. At the same time, it automatically maintains optimum water purity, ensuring effective rinsing.
Since water flows only when parts are rinsed, you save money on water bills, sewer use charges, and waste water treatment expenses.
Features
- Cuts water consumption up to 85%
- Reliable solid-state electronics
- Corrosion-resistant design
- Minimal maintenance
- Panel or surface mount design
- Attractive panel design allows for
either surface or panel mounting

How it works
The three parts of the CONTROLSTIK System are easily installed. The CONTROLSTIK (conductivity sensor) is set at a tolerable contamination level and submerged in the tank. Fresh water cannot flow into the tank until drag-in from rinsed parts causes the contamination level in the tank to rise above the pre-set point. The CONTROLSTIK (sensor) then signals the solenoid valve to open, adding fresh water. As soon as this fresh water dilutes the contamination to the tolerable pre-set level, the CONTROLSTIK (sensor) closes the valve.
Engineering Specifications
Rinse water usage shall be minimized by means of automatic conductivity control systems. They shall consist of a temperature compensated conductivity sensor, corrosion resistant one-inch solenoid valve and transformer box which safely reduces line power to the probe and sensor. Circuitry shall be solid-state and unaffected by changes in voltage between 105 and 125 volts. Setpoint adjustment shall be on sensor to minimize tampering. Rinse tank controls shall be Myron L Model 597 or approved equal.
