So, how does a power failure close a latching valve?
For the valve I looked at, the coil draws about 6 watts. That means, if I
were to somehow turn pro and power this rig 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, 50
weeks a year; it would cost me a whole $1.80 for solenoid power. Hardly
seems to justify the extra cost and complexity of using a latching valve;
especially since a more realistic use schedule for me would be under 100
hours/year.
