What if the float is not floating?

Check for leaks in the float. Replace the float if it's damaged or filled with water.

How do I adjust the water level?

The water level can be adjusted by bending the float arm or adjusting the float itself.

What should I do if the valve leaks?

Check all connections for tightness. If the leak persists, replace the valve.
