A brand-new classic

There’s no need to reinvent a classic. But we have improved one of ours even twice! The VAG EKO®plus Gate Valve now features a new, patented wedge geometry. The stem nut which used to be screwed into the cast-iron body is now integrated and completely rubber coated. And what's so great about this improvement? – Significantly better corrosion protection!

And this is new as well: The VAG EKO®plus Gate Valve now features an integrated port for the installation of a stem extension. This means that the VAG TELEMAX® Stem Extension can now easily be locked and thus provides an optimized connection in terms of operating torques and which is also dirt-proof. This allows the operator to easily lock it and make it pull-out proof.

How do the bubbles get into the water?

On its long journey through the various strata of the Earth. During the process, mineral water already picks up some natural carbonic acid. When mineral water is carbonated later on, natural and also industrially produced carbonic acid is used. This acid is added when the water is bottled. Besides improving the taste of the water, carbonic acid has a preservative side effect: The development of bacteria is considerably reduced. This is why the shelf life of mineral water with a low content of carbonic acid is usually shorter.
