That is a Marcland. Not sure if he will sell just that part.
Smoky Lake has valve that is like a motorized ball valve. It opens and closes slowly. The Marcland is either open or shut, instantly.

Ipakiz, do you use the Smokey Lake valve?
Do you like it? If so, is it controlled the same as the Marcland, so it could be used with the Marcland controller, sensor?

As I recall, we met at Andersons a few years back. Hope all is well with you.

I have a smoky lake auto draw. This will be my first season using it so I don't know how it works as of yet but, It looks as if it is built extremely well! The valve used is similar to this. http://www.ebay.com/itm/ChemWorld-Stainless-Steel-Motorized-Ball-Valve-1-NPT-/321096240469?_trksid=p2054897.l4276
only difference I see is the valve I have says it is 220v.

No, mine is a Marcland. I got it from Smoky Lake last spring, before he developed his own brand.
Jim and I did do the testing here this summer, using some old, dark syrup that was not for sale. That is how I know what he has for a valve, and that it does function perfectly.
I may trade my Marcland back to Jim for a Smoky Lake brand. (Jim, are you listening?) I think the stack monitor option would be a great thing to have.
