BRS Float Valve Touching Water?
I've got two Brute cans in my garage, one for top off the other for new salt water. My RO unit T's off before the cans so that there is a separate line going to each can. Then each can has it's own float valve to shut my RO unit off.
I just noticed that when my cans are full, the metal screws on the float valve are half under water. It's been running this way for 3 months now and I haven't had a problem yet. Is this an issue or should I not worry about it?

would say you're in a pretty good position yourself to say if a problem, after 3 months is there corrosion? Screws stainless steel?

I assume it's SS.

Yes, if no corrosion, then it's a stainless steel screw... if you do have some corrosion, I'd replace it with a SS screw asap.
