Transparency Water Float Valve SIDE Inlet

Works perfectly, problems occur when your water has many minerals which over time fall out of solution and prevent the switching mechanism. This is difficult to clean, and I recommend a replacement .

I added these to my trays to top off my plants on a timer. They work great but you must do a good job of making neat cuts on your line ends or they can leak.

They leak. Both valves leaked a small amount but too much for my use.

We've purchased a few of these Transparency Water Float Valves, after trying out the larger opaque ones. They work okay most of the time, but any dirt or algae plugs them up quickly. We use them in an aquaponics application so the water isn't the most pristine. Even so, we suspect that even with clean tap water the openings inside would get plugged with algae in a stock tank or other outdoor application. Our water is clean as far as particulates, and the float valves work without the inlet screen. We just have to take them apart and clean every three or four weeks. To be fair, the specifications encourage regular cleaning.The floats can get stuck on the bottom of the housing with a little algae growth. There are some little nubs that are presumably there to keep this from happening but they are too small. So we added a couple small star washers to help keep the float from sticking which helps. Just check these closely and rattle them a little if they stop the water from flowing.

Easy to install and although its plastic two came in the package and I can replace this one when the sun kills it.

When I first opened the box, I immediately thought to myself, THIS is why it’s a good deal… regretting my purchase. Having no other option at the time & nothing to lose, I installed what looked like a colorful children’s toy of a float valve…. About half the size I expected & appearing very cheap.BOY WAS I WRONG!!! This little 2-pack of float valves are a DEAL! It not only works good, it is 5 times faster than the bigger clunky float valve we had. It’s been installed now for a month & has worked flawlessly AND we still have a brand new spare!! Don’t waste your money on other big, clunky floats that cost 3 times as much. These little things work awesome!For reference~ we have a 500 gallon holding tank coming from our well. This thing works it’s butt off daily, all day long!!

Floats look good, work well. Adequate adapters.

arrived in good condition and well pleased
