Install the float valve into your poly tank or trough inlet, ensuring the 20mm or 25mm fitting matches your supply line. Attach the lever arm to the float ball and adjust the arm length so the valve closes when water reaches your desired level—typically 50-75mm from the tank rim. Connect your water supply line and turn on slowly to check for leaks at all fittings. Test the valve operation by letting the tank empty slightly; it should refill automatically without overflow or constant trickling. Tips: Always match your ball float pressure rating to your system pressure (most rural supplies run 100-350kPa). Install a simple strainer on the inlet line if drawing from a dam or bore to prevent sediment fouling the valve seat. Check your float valve quarterly, especially in sandy or silty water areas, as debris can cause sticking and water waste.
