MorningRo 3 Pack Water Float Valve 1/2 to 3/4'' Auto Shut off Water Tank Float Valve 304 Stainless Steel Fully Automatic Level Control for Pool, Livestock Troughs (Classic Style)

Works great, easy installation, made well. I have used Little Giant trough floats for years for the same reasons. Easy installation, reasonable price. They always worked till recently. But out of the last dozen Little giants I bought, 2 went in and worked, and they did not last very long before they started to overflow the troughs without shutting off. I put these new floats in several months ago and they all still work perfectly.

Great idea , hard to figure out why they don't shut off, 1 of 4 does, three seem to be leaking!

I've been using the floats in my cattle troughs for about two months and so far all is good. Update about a year later. Two out of three floats started overflowing, so I removed them, cleaned and one went back to working like it should, but the other is still overflowing. The come apart easy and clean in vinegar, so not hard to clean, just not sure why the one isn't working correctly. I will probably purchase again and give the next set a try to see if they do better.

First the box on one of the float valves was damaged. It must have been damaged during packaging because the other two float valve boxes were not damaged. The box the trio came in was not damaged, and the Amazon box my total order came in was not damaged. I decided to hook up the float valve in the damaged box first. I used the metal elbow and 3/4” metal adapter supplied. I hooked up the metal elbow to the float valve, then hooked up the adapter to the male threaded end of the 1/2” metal elbow, then screwed the metal adapter into a threaded 3/4” pvc coupling. I used the tape supplied with the float valve on all the male threaded fittings. After everything was set I turn on the water but only about 1/3 of a turn. This was a 3/4” pvc ball valve. Immediately the valve began to leak at the metal fittings and the float valve did not shut off the water once it reached the float valve and it continued to leak heavily and it didn’t take long for the float valve to be completely submerged. I turned off the water. Heavily wrapped the metal male ends of the system and put everything back together. The valve continued to leak. I then ditched that float valve and put together a second float valve and did not use the metal fittings. I bought a 3/4” pvc elbow with a male threaded end and a smooth bore on the other end. I taped up and screwed the elbow’s threaded end to the pvc coupling; then connected a 3/4” adapter with a 1/2” female connector allowing the float valve to the 1/2” threaded inlet on the valve. So far so good. No leaks on the fittings and the float valve itself about halfway into the water. After 3 hours the water level didn’t change. But, the next morning the water was over flowing so the float valve failed. So now I turn on the water, feed all the animals, then walk back and cut the waiter off. So…based on these issues I would not recommend the product.

work great in my dog bowls and have out lasted the ones from tractor supply

Works well. I made automatic pool filler using this product.

Normally I don't leave negative reviews. These float switches were not consistent. Sometimes they would work, sometimes not. If I went into my grow area and saw a puddle of water on the floor, I began to realize the float did not do its job. The first week I had no issues, all 3 units I received start to have problems after 2 weeks+ I tried the all plastic version of this type of float switch, and those dot appear to have the issue. I havesice switched all my float valves to the plastic units. These are sturdy and well built, and I was hoping they would be more reliable. David

These have worked perfect! During the heat of summer in the South my cows water troughs have been kept full. No worries on water. Easy install makes these perfect for any water trough.
