do any of you use float valves for your water tanks? what type of floats do you use? a couple years ago I started using large laundry detergent containers filled with expanding foam.
mine are definetly cheap. just a cooper wire between the ball/float valve and the handle on the jug. most of the tanks I use are 300 gallon or larger - the float is completely exposed. the only problem I had with them was occasionally slicing the float with an axe when chopping ice...but the spray foam insulation inside them takes care of that problem.
