Visible cavitation, thirsty burgers and controlled flows

Can you see cavitation?

Yes, you can. In the VAG Visitor Center in Mannheim, theory and practice are combined in a unique experience: You see the dynamics in the pipelines, feel the power of a water flow and hear the energy behind cavitation. A technical center of superlatives to enthuse anyone interested in water.

Other VAG Visitor Centers are located in Taicang, Hyderabad and Hodonin. Curious? Then why not arrange an appointment for a visit or some training?

6,000 litres of water for a burger

Looks delicious? But there is a downside - the water footprint. The WWF has calculated that it takes around 6,000 litres of water to produce a fast food meal. This includes the experts' calculation of the consumption of water, such as the water used for growing potatoes and grain and for the production of beverages. Incidentally, a mere cup of coffee consumes more than 100 litres.

No electricity? VAG PICO® will take care of it!

Send it packing to the desert! Or into the hills. Far away, to operating locations without any source of electricity at all. Because our VAG PICO® Pilot Operated Control Valve does not need an external actuator. It's automatically controlled by the water flowing through it.

The H series performs with its high-tech components and maximum operational reliability. Its hydraulic design is outstanding and you will benefit from ideal flow characteristics without any pressure fluctuations. Press-fitted VAG CORFIX® Inserts and high-alloy build-up welding on the valve seat guarantee a long service life.
