LEAKS won't turn off

I bought two of these. They both leak around the threads where you screw the hose. The gasket just twists, if you try to tighten it it actually leaks. Tried different hoses. I tried different tension levels, nothing worked. One hasn't switched off since the day it was new. I have more than enough water pressure to activate the valve, but it won't turn off. They drive out there in a day or two and he drives in and makes a big mud hole.

Pros
  • Great for me
Cons
  • ---

nearly perfect! good for horses

Works great. The only reason for 4 stars is that the seal made by the flat silicone disc on the hole is not strong enough and it leaks. Luckily the drops fall straight into the pool so that's not a problem for me. In a bit more detail: I created a pool water leveler (similar to the IG Staypoollizer Premium product - In an above ground pool - automatic water leveler) using this device and some metal and PVC pipes. Pretty easy to make and works like a charm.

Pros
  • This is amazing
Cons
  • old

Durable on long trips

Little Giant float valve has been used on the tank for at least 6 years. It has always worked perfectly - it lets the water flow when the water level goes down and stops the flow when the water level reaches the set point. When I needed a second float valve to fit in a new tank, I never considered other makes and models. I bought the first one at my favorite local independent farm shop but none of the local stores carried them so I was glad to be able to get it from Revain.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Empty
