A few months ago we ran a test on our Optima Check Valve to prove that it truly “Lasts Longer and Works Better” than any check valve on the market. We constructed a machine to cycle check valves under identical circumstances. We tested two of our competitors’ check valves and Optima. Neither of the competitors’ models lasted over 28,000 cycles before partial failure and total failure before 50,000. But we thought, what the heck, let’s keep going. In January of 2013, while Optima was still functioning normally, we elected to stop the test at 1,194,136 cycles! So on top of increased air flow and lighter weight, Optima has been proven to last over 20 times longer than the competition. That’s American ingenuity, that’s BTI.
