Glenn:

Order a modern (Viton tip) float valve from Bratton's. Take it apart before you install it and clean out any brass machine particles residing inside. The valves work very good, but Bratton's is at the mercy of his supplier and they sometimes leave brass particles inside from the machining process. You may also want to replace the tank valve as well as it apparently is not shutting off 100%.
