"removable 3/8 inch barbed check valve" Anyone else notice this?

Hello. There is a tiny rubber ball inside the valve that often gets worn. When it gets worn, the water flows back into the pump as soon as it shuts off.

I have the same problem. The problem is a little Gasket inside the Flush Valve Assembly (THU322) which over time gets cut from the pressure against the plastic rim. I'm currently contacting Toto on this and crossing my fingers they have good customer service.

Hi larry here. I just received mine and there is a valve included in a plastic bag , no explanation but I think it screw into the unit for that purpose?? That's all I have for you

There is a (+) /(-) scribed in the plastic housing. Double check continuity with corrospding tabs.

There absolutely should be no hidden check valve in the run. At the outside end there should be a flap or louvers--the manual says how to deal with either. There might be a grid on the outside but the manual (and I) say to throw it away--it will continually clog.

Sorry to hear that. Maybe your counter is higher than typical 32" bathroom counter or wall valves lower. Plumber are notorious for put things where ever they feel like it. The only standard they seem to all do is waste line for WC at 12" off the wall.Re: the faucet. It works well and looks good.

my feeling is that black attachment piece is for filtering purposes only. I removed mine completely because it was the only way to stop the dripping from where the hose meets the faucet. Not having it on doesn't actually impede the functioning of the mister (so far).

I did not look when I unpacked it. I can tell you that it has heavier fittings than the normal RV hose. I am going to use it from the outlet to a manifold to which is hooked a filter and pressure regulator, along with other fittings from the manifold. So, I wanted something that could take the pressure. This seems to fit the bill. I am pretty happy with it.

That is just the symbol used to show it is the digital valve. They used to call it the SE, for simple electronics, but then they changed it to sound more cool or something to the SXT. Give us a call if you have any other questions 785-735-9769, afwfilters

I ordered each (flush valve and plastic socket wrench adapter) separately from Amazon, but the "little white disc" was out of stock. To my surprise, the disc was included with the flush valve that I purchased, so I cancelled the order for the "little white disc," which supposedly would not arrive for at least a month. It turns out, however, that I was able to use a wide putty knife, which turned out to be precisely the same width as the throat of the flush value, to rotate and remove/replace the flush values, without even using the little white disc. The flush value works perfectly. Took a little time to get the chain set at precisely the right length, but now all works well.Good luck.

I actually hadn't even noticed until I got your message and checked. The fit is a little loose but that does not appear to harm the functionality. The attachment is very secure--it is not as though the "looseness" is an indication of a poor fit. It may actually be part of the design--you want to be able to easily detach, empty, and reattach the bottom unit. IMHO a "tight" fit would more likely jam if there were any foreign articles or dirt in the way.

That special removal tool that you would need is actually visible in the picture of this valve. It is a "C" shaped ring that is next to the copper-colored end and can be slipped on & off from the side. This will be as easy to remove as it was to install, but I doubt that I'll ever have to remove it.

There is a small gauge in the black portion that sticks off of the valve attachment. I found when using it with my schrader valves it is not always the most accurate.

I didn't remove anything such as a 'flow restrictor' that I know of in this faucet - didn't know it came with one, though my contractor might have removed it before I got to it. Mine has the same pressure as my old smaller faucet. However it's absurdly big and probably corresponds more closely to an old kitchen pump from the 19th century than a modern faucet. I wish I'd bought a smaller one.

As you can see by the products picture it is a pretty small lever, which is more for pointing to the direction of water flow, as you can turn the valve with the round knurled knob that the lever is on. I believe the lever is made of medal. The lever on the one I received actually points in the wrong direction of water flow, but for the price I can deal with it as the overall function of the valve is good, however this maybe a physical discrepancy that others would consider as a reason to not purchase it.

The ball check valve is either not installed properly (vertically) or the valve is defective.

If it was correctly installed, I am going to guess it is a defective part. My original valve went bad after a few years in the same way you are describing. I replaced it with this part and everything was fine.
