Water Float Valve, Water Level Control Water Tank Traditional Float Valve Upgrade 2 PCS (1/2", side inlet)

Awesome product

I use these for topping off the reservoir on a plant watering tank. I had a different float valve that the nutrient water corroded and ruined after about 6 weeks. I just replaced it with one of these, so I don't know if the same thing will happen. But so far it works well. Would be better if the float had a smaller diameter, but I was able to modify the tank to make it fit. I will report back if the valve fails too quickly.

works as advertised, not super wonderful bu tworks

I used for my pool refill, I purchased a different one (stainless one), but downwards water outlet caused waves, which generated many on/off action and sounds, even worse, the water hammer effect caused many noise and vibration. I purchased this one, it does not have the water hammer sounds as the outlet is to the side, and seems the value shutoff nicely.To adjust the wafer level, original I used 1/2 PVC Slide Repair Coupling, build an adjust clamp, too complicated, I ended up using multiple 1/2" riser, which is much simpler.Durability I didn't give 5, as it may not last long under the the Arizona Sun. :)

I got tired of refilling our little 6 gallon chicken waterer and bought these to hook up a 55 gallon supply drum to a drinking pan. This does the job perfectly, and I've got a spare valve if needed. These will easily pay for themselves in time saved.

We love these auto fill valves for our fountains. They last about 15 months then poop out but we purchase backups and replace as necessary. Our tap water is pretty hard here in the desert.

The instructions are for a similar but different product: one where it goes in one side and out the other. The other problem is the pressure is given in kilograms. Not kilograms per sq meter or kilograms per sq cm, just kilograms. How many atmospheres is a kilogram? My water pressure is about 5 atmospheres (75 psi) will this work or not?

Received 4 of these valves very quickly. The first one I tried leaked by which which caused an overflow condition. At the time, seemed more of these same story from these type valves since I've tried like 5 different valves very similar. I had started testing @ around 30 psi and had enough seepage to overflow a 2 gallon container in less than 12 hours. Reached out to the seller and Jimmy responded very quickly giving me a few pointers. One of which was to ensure no debris had gotten into the rubber seat of the closing mechanism. Did that, and found no debris. So the next test after reassembling the valve was to up the incoming pressure to around 50 psi, run the valve through it's paces of filling and see if the valve would respond and not allow any seepage. Bingo, so far, the 4 valves are holding without any overflow issues going on 20 hours. Jimmy was a lot of help and offered many times to refund my money. I've bought 10 more of these valves to test each one individually before we put these into service out in the field. Thanks Jimmy!
