Hi everyone.
Regarding the fill pro toilet valve I've talked about. I installed another one the other day and today I was doing the final touches to the storage barrel and came across what I think might be a potential problem. The new one appears to have a small leak where the two halves of the valve come together at the seam. (see picture) It is a very slow leak mind you, but I'm not sure how it will affect the operation of the valve. Later today I should be able to determine:
1) if the leak affects the valves performace
2) if the leak continues once the valve shuts itself off.
I will likely be replacing the valve anyway, but I though you should know to look for this. I also checked my old valve, which has been running for a few months now, and it appears fine.
So I'm hoping this new valve is an anomaly. :-\
