Does this one actually hold up in time? I have gone through several flap type valves that fail in a year and not close properly letting water back N.

I've only had it installed for one year (one wet season). So far I've had no problems.

You're correct. I've used the plastic one since I bought it 1 year ago and haven't had any leaks. Maybe I just got lucky. As for the regulator, it still works just as great as the day I got it.

I've had this cover for almost a year, and it has been through many washings. I haven't had an issues with tearing. It still looks and functions like brand new.

I haven't had any problems, though I would suggest taking the plastic off the valve handle.

I got it last April, 2013 and it's had no problems. It's really a heavy duty, gorgeous faucet.

I no longer own it - I sent it back because the valve was covered, and that didn't seem safe. If anyone understands how a covered valve could work as a safety release, I'd be interested to know. I don't know about the warranty.

No. But I believe it will generally keep its form over time. I have I've noticed the top flap slightly beginning to curve (or warp) in the middle though. I'm gessing this is due to heat and humidity, and possibly from getting rained on once or twice.

I agree with Carol. This is the only vacuum I've used over 30ish years. I've had to replace it once or twice. I run mine year round. The flaps wear out but are cheap and easily replaced, but don't need replacing very often. Will only use this type of vac. Great for the price and far better than the pricey ones.

Yes it held up and no water in my bed after running it through. I had mine for almost three years, with the truck being parked outside. The cover material was in great shape. Only gripe was I had one of the plastic hinges break. When i got a new truck i gave it to a friend who is still using it and it still looks good.

Long time so far. I am sure it depends on how often you open and close the valve. Standby mine have lasted 6 mo. so far.

It has been over two years that I have mine; in regular once per week use. The original hose is still intact and in use (many complain it breaks; not mine). Have had no complaints so far.

While still a float valve on a pole - it works quite well as long as you ensure that the float is unencumbered. I've had mine a year now it have had not problems. Got in the crawl space a week ago to check cause I hadn't heard it running. Still works - sump was empty and dry.

Mine has held up well, cleans up nicely. I have very hard water and a water softener; haven't had a problem with water spots either

Depends on how hard your local water is, an if you ever drain it, among other things. If it isn't leaking, doesn't show any signs of rust, and isn't making odd gurgling noises, it should be fine. Tho 13 yrs already is a good amount of time for one to last.

I got mine for Christmas in 2012, so I have been using it for almost a year. I use it pretty regularlly, about once a week overall, more in he colder months and less in summer. It has performed beautifully throughout. The only replacement issue I had was one of my own making. I removed the top and carelessly placed it over a still hot surface, which melted the pressure valve. I ordered a new one and its been fine ever since. I am not aware of any recalls.

Depends on whether you have soft water or not. I have soft water that runs through the filter. After one year the build up was almost nothing to be concerned with...........so I kept the original installed. But, I keep an eye on it monthly and replace it with a new filter that I bought via Amazon for $13.00 (just in case). On the other hand, a person I know has hard water and the filter has to be replaced yearly to include the automatic water shut off valve.

I bought this one specifically because it stated leakproof as it's most popular feature. I had another for about 1 year which I occasionally used, then it started leaking. This one I put in my pocketbook without a worry,
