Jobe Vortex Float Valve – High-Flow Float Valve for Water Tanks, Troughs & Cisterns

Ships directly from the manufacturer.

The Jobe Vortex Float Valve is a high-flow float valve for the automatic filling of water storage tanks, livestock troughs and cisterns. Jobe rates the Vortex at 600 L/min (about 158 gpm), and calls it a good choice wherever maximum flow, compact, robust, non-corrosive construction and variable float levels are needed.

The float operates a small pilot valve, which in turn operates the main diaphragm valve. It shuts down slowly to help minimize water hammer, and holds your water level within a 3/4"–2-1/2" range that increases as inlet pressure increases.

The Vortex is configured for above-water mounting — top entry with or without an extension — and mounts horizontally or vertically. The valve unscrews from its tail for easy valve seal access, the float sets by hand with no tools, a built-in switch locks it off, and a port accepts Jobe's FrostPro anti-freeze device (sold separately).

Available in 1-1/4", 1-1/2" and 2" inlets, and built from corrosion-resistant materials with 304 stainless steel hardware.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Vortex be mounted underwater?
No. The Vortex is configured for above-water mounting only. Jobe makes a separate underwater-mount version of the Vortex.

How do I prevent back-siphoning?
Jobe recommends mounting the valve at least two inlet diameters above the overflow. Some mounting positions may not comply with local regulations, so check yours.

Vortex or Topaz?
The Vortex is Jobe's larger high-flow valve in 1-1/4" to 2" inlets. For 3/4" to 1-1/4" troughs, see the Jobe Topaz Float Valve.

Big inlets, big flow, built to last — the Jobe Vortex keeps large tanks and troughs full.

Great quality Ploybraid and good for about 4-5 years year round application with uv exposure.
★★★★★
Rotational Grazing

Seth M

This is my second purchase of the super 9 polybraid, and it sure won’t be the last. Compared to the other poly wire products I’ve used, this braid is so much more durable, easily visible to the livestock, and VERY conductive. The smooth braid is much smoother to reel in than the other poly wires I’ve used, and for almost a year I’ve been moving cows with this wire at least three days a week. Still going strong with no viable signs of wear. I highly recommend this product. 5 stars for sure

Perimeter Fencing

It is working great. Running on a deep cycle battery that drops to 50-60% in 4 days on electric netting. 8-10k volts on poly rope and 4-6k volts on the netting.
★★★★★

This Range Ward — Power Reel saves me so much time and headache. I wish I would have made this purchase years ago. Just attach it to your side by side and go. It's that simple.
