sporlan valve

[Gregory OConnor]

The S valve needs pressure to close and with the system is not used
or pressurized it floats open. The works get scummed up and they
need a cleaning. For a quick fix I hook up to high pressure city,
run the outside hand wash sink and try and close the e-fill switch
off. ( others will warn you that this may cause pipe dammage and my
sporlan is a little clogged up) .

To check if the e switch and selonoid are working, turn it on, go
under the bed, unscrew the e selonoid and pick it up and down, you
should feel the magnetic pull. If all that is working simply remove
the other four (4?) screws open the valve and clean the guts with
bathroom cleaner. If you replace the valve replumb it to hold a ball
man valve also. ( the man valve is good to use on the road if the
sporlan or when the sporlan gets scummed once again)
