Review on Champion Irrigation AB 075 B Compact Actuator by Joe Jordan

Bought from a local nursery and it oozes profusely from the central stem. Called champion and they made me take him back to kennel (about 10 miles away); You wouldn't replace it directly. Bought a second one at a local hardware store; It didn't turn off completely and was causing a continuous drop off on my plants. I haven't caught it for a few days; so much to save water. This one couldn't return because he couldn't find the check and again called the champion who wouldn't do anything under the guarantee. Brought the first one back to the kennel and got a replacement. This one also leaked from a supply, but it was a geyser, not a leak. Brought #3 back to the kennel and got a superior brass valve instead. Worked great. All 4 valves were made of brass. I understand that every manufacturer releases a faulty product from time to time, but 3 out of 3 is unacceptable.
