The washing machine/dishwasher valves are cheap but they do not work
well at low water pressure. I once used a circulating ball valve in
a low pressure application. Basically, they are an in-line ball bearing
with a hole drilled thru it. A small motor with cut-off micro switches
rotates the ball. Works down to 0 psi of course.
