Surprise Fountain!

It was not the supplier's fault that the quality of the goods was poor. I had to fix this seriously leaking distributor by removing the piston inside and replacing the o-rings.

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • I don't remember

Easy installation and good details

As advertised. I figured I would have to get a new fabric softener but traced my problem back to the valve and ordered this replacement which saved me a lot of money compared to Sears. Easy to install and works great.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Incredible piggy bank

The crack on the bypass valve is not visible on the old one, but it's there!

I have a GE GXSF30V softener that is over 5 years old and the outlet connected to the unit had a small leak where the locking clip is located. It is the correct part and fits perfectly with no leaks. Of course, with a repair like this, you might think that the O-ring is leaking, but that's not the case. To depressurize the lines and remove the retaining clips, the water supply MUST be shut off. Using a medium flathead screwdriver, carefully pry/remove the clips. Replacing the o-ring did not fix

Pros
  • Highly rated by testers for grip and durability
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
