A valve assembly includes a valve body and, located therein, a valve member which can be moved between a first position, in which the valve is in a first operational mode, and a second position, in which the valve is in a second operational mode. The valve member has a rare earth magnet which, when the valve member is in either one of the two operational modes, causes the valve member to be magnetically biased against movement toward the other operational mode. The valve is provided with a device for generating a magnetic field sufficient for overcoming the magnetic bias in the first or second operational mode, so as to cause the valve member to move to the other of the operational modes.
