Jobe Valves Rojo Compact Float Valve, 1/2", Yellow/Black

The well for the pump under our waterfall included a float valve (not one of these valves) for adding water as needed. The old valve failed (after only a year and was flooding our yard) and I bought this valve because it is small enough to fit in the space.So far, it is working perfectly. The existing piping had a 1/2" fitting, so I was able to screw this one in place with no changes to existing pipe.The switch feels a little stiff, but the float is heavy so it activates the switch with no problems. I did find that I can get the valve to start oscillating with the float bobbing up and down, turning the valve on and off. This really isn't a problem for my application, but I mention it so people know it can happen. I think it's a function of the small space that I have it in (the valve almost fills the space where the pump and the valve are).I like that you can attach the float right to the valve or use the included small arm to extend it. The direction is adjustable. I extended the arm down from the valve using this.It's only been a month so far - if anything changes, I will update my review.The valve body does sit a little higher than the old one, but since everything is covered by river rock, it's not really a problem.

Using it for an underground water reservoir on a bubbling rock water feature. Mounted it inside a 5-gallon bucket. Works exactly as I had hoped.
