A solenoid valve (31) has a control chamber (13, 43) with a float (12) arranged therein, a water inlet (17), a first water outlet (19) and a second water outlet (20), and an electromagnet (26) arranged on the control chamber (13). When the control chamber (13, 43) is empty, the float (12) releases the first water outlet (19) and the second water outlet (20), and when the control chamber (13) is filled, the float (12) closes the first water outlet (19) in the deactivated state of the electromagnet (26) and the second water outlet (20) in the activated state of the electromagnet (26). The float (12) is a magnetizable float (12), and a magnetic field can be generated in the control chamber (13) by means of the activated electromagnet (26), said magnetic field being designed to be homogenous along at least one section of a path of the float (12). A method is used to operate a solenoid valve (31). |
