Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this float compatible with all float valves?

It is designed for standard threaded float valve arms, but verify the thread type and size of your existing system before purchase.

Can I use this in a hot water tank?

Yes, copper is suitable for hot water environments, but check that your specific valve assembly is rated for the operating temperatures.

How do I know if the float is failing?

If the float sinks or sits significantly lower in the water than usual, it likely has a leak and needs to be replaced.

Will this float rust?

No, copper is highly resistant to the types of corrosion that typically affect iron or steel floats.

Does it come with a mounting arm?

No, this product is the float sphere only and does not include the valve assembly or the mounting arm.

Troubleshooting

Water continues to run after the tank is full

Check if the float has become waterlogged or if the float arm is bent, preventing the valve from fully closing.

Float is rattling or loose

Ensure the float is securely threaded onto the arm and that no washer or locking nut is missing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly resistant to corrosion in various water qualities
  • Standardized size for easy replacement in existing systems
  • Robust build quality ensures longevity
  • Effective buoyancy control for consistent water levels

Cons

  • Fixed 6-inch size may not fit compact or non-standard tanks
  • Copper can dent if subjected to significant physical impact
  • Requires proper arm attachment for correct functionality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure your existing float valve arm is clean and free of debris. Screw the float clockwise onto the threaded end of the valve arm until secure. Be careful not to overtighten, as this could damage the threads. For maintenance, periodically inspect the sphere for signs of damage or water ingress; if the float remains submerged, it indicates a breach in the copper seal. To clean, wipe down with a soft, damp cloth to remove any limescale buildup that might affect its weight and balance.
