  If the valve on your Ritchie Livestock Equipment won’t stop dripping, there are several things you can check: * Inspect the float adjustment and look for a waterlogged float or if the float is rubbing on the side of the valve compartment. * Check for excessive water pressure in the system. * Disassemble the valve to check for sand or scale in the valve rubber. Also, inspect the valve orifice outlet for any wear or damage. Consider adding a screen or filter if your water is sandy or scaly. * Try turning the valve rubber over and re-assembling it.

  Ellen JohnsonAug 20, 2025
  If you're experiencing low water flow in your Ritchie Livestock Equipment, try the following: * Ensure the valve inlet isn't plugged and the supply hose isn't kinked. * Check the system pressure from the supply hose by installing a tee and a pressure gauge directly in front of the valve to check for pressure drop when the valve is open. A significant pressure drop may indicate a restriction or undersized supply system. * Make sure that the shutoff valves are fully open.
