I'd think this type of installation would be relatively common in cold climate areas, particularly in seasonal situations where things would tend to be left unattended for extended periods of time. It'd seem that there would be alternatives to this specific vendor, so it may be worth investigation in Northern states if you know of anyone in, say, Minnesota, Michigan, or Vermont, who may be able to make some inquiries with commercial plumbers in those areas... good luck!

Hi Richard,
Which part are you finding a high failure rate with? The diaphragm, the coil, etc? If it's mostly with the diaphragm or the diaphragm leaking, there are some generic valve rebuilding kits out there, but sadly they are just are starting to get tougher to find. The old Watts/Invenses kit PN was RK1000, I've also found some of the Dexter kits to work as well, W7438K2. www.amazon.com/Invenses-R... www.amazon.com/Dexter-Valve-Repa... Good luck! Ben |

I recently had a good experience purchasing the W7438K2 kits at this source:
laundryreplacementparts.com/prod...
They also sell them on eBay if you prefer. |
