Hi guys. I have a Q. What are doing with metal clip on float valve. When I inspect mine today I found that metal clip is rusted a little. I am using it in my sump to add RO from unit ( like auto top of). Was thinking about to replace this metallic part, but what to use.? Nothing came up in my head. Anybody have any idea? Tnx.

Maybe a wooden dowel or plasctic zip tie? Aside from keeping the arm attached to the nut what other purpose does the metal clip serve? It may have a function that would be hard to replace with something else. FWIW I believe BRS sells a float valve made up of all plastic parts. Maybe just replace it with one of those.
