    I’ve always wanted one of those switches where I can flip it on and if at will. I heard about that years ago, but I don’t know if it ever actually became a real thing. I’m single and 36 so it would be perfect for me. I’m glad that people are getting a snip for free though.

      While a ball valve is more durable and provides a tight seal, opening and closing will cause an abrupt change in pressure that can strain your system. A gate valve will allow for more granular pressure regulation, but is prone to leakage and degradation of the valve stem over time.

        Just this week at work we are having a problem at a customer site with some ball valves not sealing. I am thinking it might be fet-driven instead of relay driven and just doesn’t have the current needed for the last part. Seen them do that before.
