What to do if my Ritchie WaterMatic 100 valve won't stop dripping?
If the valve in your Ritchie Outdoor Fountain won't stop dripping, there are several things you can check: * First, examine the float adjustment and make sure the float moves freely. * Second, disassemble the valve and inspect the valve rubber for any sand or scale. * Third, turn the valve rubber over and re-assemble it. * Finally, check for excessive water system pressure.
Why is there low water flow in my Ritchie WaterMatic 100?
If you're experiencing low water flow in your Ritchie Outdoor Fountain, consider the following checks: 1. Ensure that the valve inlet isn't plugged or the supply hose isn't kinked. 2. Check the system pressure from the supply hose by installing a tee and pressure gauge in front of the valve to check pressure drop when the valve is open. A severe pressure drop indicates a restriction or undersized supply system. 3. Verify that shut-off valves are fully open.
