Alan,
I investigated the solenoid route as well and didn't find a lot of choices that I thought would work well.  I am looking at electric motor instead.  The biggest issue with electric is the possibility of the valve being left in open position due to motor burnout or some other electric failure.

Jon,I have bought a couple of solenoids 48V & 24V (not solenoid valves) that I intend to experiment with. The idea being that I coat the wiring, housing &plunger in resin & use it to directly actuate the ballast valve.I bought the two below to get a rough idea of what gauge wire to use, howlarge, what size plunger etc.There is a limit as to how long you can operate them for due to heat, but aballast valve isn't open for long.Alan
