The storage system is unique in that it is the only one on the market to collapse and break down to fit in a smaller package for shipping, display, and storage.

The water storage part consists of a decorative two-piece collapsible cardboard box, an internal frame that can be broken down or folded up, and a collapsible water bladder that can be refilled.

The bladder has a hose molded to it.  This allows the water to flow by gravity to the water shut-off valve. This valve is most unique due to its simple but effective design.

The valve consists of a few basic parts; valve body, a magnetic float, a steel ball and a seat. As the water enters the top of the valve, the water movement is stopped by a steel ball resting on a seat, or outlet, at the bottom of the valve. A float with a magnetic plate slides up or down on the valve shaft creating a magnetic pull on the steel ball inside the valve.

This up and down movement of the float is created by the escaping water at the bottom of the valve into the tree stand due to the use of water by the tree, or evaporation. As the float drops to a pre-determined point on the base of the valve, the magnet and steel are attracted to each other causing the ball to release from the seat.

This starts the water flowing. As the water level in the bowl or stand rises, the ball is lifted up the inside of the valve’s shaft. As the ball inside the shaft/body reaches a predetermined point, the ball is broken free from the magnetic hold by a stop placed in the shaft/body. The ball, free from the magnetic hold, falls back down to the seat, thus stopping the flow of water.    

• All metal parts are coated to prevent corrosion
• The valve operation is directly opposite standard ball and seat valve configurations
• The entire unit fits and displays in a 12” x 12” x 2 ½” shelf box
