Valve

An apparatus, comprising:

• a valve, comprising an actuator, the actuator actionable to control a fluid flow through the valve;
• a container coupled to the valve and shaped to receive a fluid, the container comprising:
• an inlet configured to allow fluid into the container;
• an outlet allowing fluid out of the container;
• and
• a first magnetic material positioned proximate to a top of the container;
• a float positioned within the container and comprising:
• a second magnetic material positioned proximate to a top of the float;
• and
• a reservoir configured to receive fluid;
• and
• a second actuator configured to open a port in the container and force the float downward to displace fluid within the container through the port;
• wherein the actuator is actuated to open the valve at a first position and close the valve at a second position based on a magnetic interaction between the first and second magnetic material, a fluid level within the container, and a fluid level within the reservoir.

A method, comprising:

• providing a valve, comprising an actuator, the actuator actionable to control a fluid flow through the valve;
• providing a container shaped to receive a fluid, the container comprising:
• an inlet configured to allow fluid into the container,
• an outlet allowing fluid out of the container;
• and
• a first magnetic material positioned proximate to a top of the container;
• providing a float comprising:
• a second magnetic material positioned proximate to a top of the float;
• and
• a reservoir configured to receive fluid;
• installing the float within the container;
• and
• coupling the container to the valve.
