![]() I wouldn't just limit myself to shopping at aquarium supply strores. There are many other products that use float valves (of all sizes).

![]() Gord, Adam has a float valve that he got elsewhere. Maybe check with him. I know that humidifiers often have plastic valves. For me, the hassle of looking wasn't worth the money I'd save. I did origianlly look around for a few weeks, but must have spent $20 in gas doing it.

![]() Well I'd go to Home Depot (some plumbing and water filtration units use them), Anchorage Marina, Westwood Marine (Some marine engines and boat appliances use them) ect. Have all the pertenant information ready when you if you don't have the original. Just make sure the new one will handle salt water.
Most parts places only have part numbers for certain model whatevers to look up and not be listed for certain sizes, so you may have to talk really nice to them and ask to look at various ones. |

![]() Don't know if you guy's have a RONA (Formerly Revy ) out your way but I got my float valve there for something like $8.00.
I believe HD sells the same one. In a blue and white hang package in the Humidifier section. Cheers
