[QUOTE="Nesikep, post: 1559491, member: 9096"] I have yet to find a good cow-proof float valve.. We get a lot of silt and sand in our water and have high pressure (60-110 PSI).. Either they just can't shut off under that pressure or any dirt makes them leak like sieves. I designed my own and made a prototype that worked fairly well, but don't have the machining capabilities to make it compact enough, it was pilot operated and would run either fully on or fully off, which helped a lot with dirt buildup, and it was a essentially a wide open 3/4" pipe when it was open, so a heck of a flow through there [/QUOTE]
