A fluid chamber couples cylindrical input and output lines. The chamber has a closed lower end and an open upper end. A closure plate covers the upper end. The plate has a primary and secondary slots. A finger assembly has primary and secondary fingers. The fingers extend through the slots with upper ends of the fingers above the chamber and lower ends within the chamber. A block, fabricated of elastomeric material, couples the fingers at intermediate extents of the fingers. The block is positioned upon the closure plate. The elastomeric material covers the lower ends of the fingers. An aperture has a spacer. The aperture is formed in the lower end of the primary finger in axial alignment with the output line. A drive mechanism moves the upper ends of the fingers to pivot the lower ends of the fingers.

1. An integrated valve system comprising: cylindrical input and output lines and a fluid chamber coupling the lines, the chamber having a closed lower end and an open upper end, a closure plate covering the upper end, the closure plate being formed with slots, the slots being a primary slot and a secondary slot;a finger assembly formed of fingers, the fingers being a primary finger and a secondary finger, the fingers extending through the slots with upper ends of the fingers above the chamber and lower ends within the chamber;a block fabricated of elastomeric material, the block coupling the fingers at intermediate extents of the fingers with the fingers in spaced, normally parallel relationship, the block being positioned upon the closure plate, the elastomeric material covering the lower ends of the fingers;an aperture with a spacer, the aperture being formed in the lower end of the primary finger in axial alignment with the output line; anda drive mechanism to move the upper ends of the fingers to pivot the lower ends of the fingers. 2. The system as set forth in claim 1 wherein the primary finger is a broad finger and the secondary finger is a narrow finger. 3. The system as set forth in claim 1 and the drive mechanism including: a cam; anda motor to rotate the cam and the fingers between an open and a closed position and to hold the cam and fingers in the position in which they were last positioned upon terminating the motor. 4. An integrated valve system for selectively discharging contaminant material from the bottom of a filtering tank, the system comprising, in combination: a cylindrical input line and a cylindrical output line and a rectilinear fluid chamber operatively coupling the input and output lines, the input and output lines having axes in a vertical plane with the input and output lines being coaxial, the chamber having a vertical axis midway between the input and output lines in the plane of the axes of the input and output lines;the chamber having an upper end and a lower end with a lower cap sealing the lower end of the chamber, the upper end having a reception section and an interior closure plate, the interior closure plate being formed with a broad slot and a parallel narrow slot, the slots being in a generally T-shaped configuration, the closure plate being formed with a rectangular recess above the slots;a finger assembly formed of fingers, the fingers being a broad finger and a narrow finger, the broad finger extending through the broad slot with an upper end above the chamber and a lower end within the chamber perpendicular to the input and output lines, the narrow finger extending through the narrow slot with an upper end above the chamber and a lower end within the chamber perpendicular to the input and output lines;the finger assembly including a rectilinear block formed of an elastomeric material, the block coupling the fingers at an intermediate extent of the fingers with the fingers in spaced relationship with each other, the block being positioned within the rectangular recess, the elastomeric material extending downwardly to cover the lower ends of the fingers;a circular aperture with a metal grommet extending through the lower end of the broad finger in axial alignment with the axis of the output line, the fingers being movable between a fully vertical closed position with the broad finger in contact with the output line and the narrow finger in contact with the grommet, an intermediate position with the broad finger in contact with the output line and the narrow finger pivoted to out-of-contact with the grommet, and a fully pivoted open position with the broad finger pivoted to out-of-contact with the output line and the narrow finger pivoted and in contact with the grommet;a housing having a lower section coupled to the reception section of the chamber for securing the finger assembly in operative position with respect to the chamber, the housing having upwardly extending parallel faces, a drive shaft rotatably supported in the parallel faces, a cam with a central lobe movable into contact with the upper end of the narrow finger for pivoting the lower end of the narrow finger from the closed position to the intermediate position, the cam having laterally spaced lobes movable into contact with the upper end of the broad finger for pivoting the lower end of the broad finger to the fully pivoted open position; anda motor to rotate the cam and the fingers between the open and closed positions and to hold the cam and fingers in the position in which they were last positioned upon terminating the motor.
