Grow Mediums Floating autovalve?

[The Odd Couple]

No, the weight does not "hold the valve down." Obviously, don't weigh down the hinged moving part, which will keep your valve open. The weight goes on the base, anchoring the base on the same prong that doesn't hold it. The base needs to be anchored (can't float)/sitting in the bottom of the water tray, with the hinged part floating.

I understood what you meant. I took a piece of cork and cut to fit atop the non moving part so the lid pressed it down against the tray.

Thank you for the tip.

Yea, there was something wrong there. I practically have to pry mine off the retaining clip when I have to take them out.

First time I've heard of warped trays. Good they are replacing them. Weighting the valves is not a good Idea IMO.

Company sent them priority, got them friday!

After looking at these things more close, i agree its not the best choice. I guess that is why they sell the valves seperate, but with a blue cover for their ezgo kit, to prevent float aways.
