The water level in my swamp cooler is consistantly too high and sometimes overflows. The valve has a thick wire to the float. I bend the float down until the water only starts flowing at the proper level. It won't stay set correctly. After a while - hours or days - the level is too high again. The float is not leaking. All I can think of is the float is somehow bending the wirw? Seems impossible - it is hard to bend.
Suggestions?
Yes, I know, change the valve assembly. However, I'm still in cooling season here in AZ and hate to try to change it. These things have a way of being a lot more trouble than expected. I don't want to have to work for hours in the hot sun. What could possibly go wrong? Leave it to me; I'll find something!
In some thirty years I never had this problem before!
TIA
