Check that the float (orange ball) is still attached to valve.

Step 4 of 8

Look down to the valve where water goes into trough. Put your hand down to valve and make sure the valve (water direction) is pointing DOWN to the bottom of trough

Step 5 of 8

If the water isn’t flowing downwards and is flowing either left or right you’ll need to turn the valve so it’s pointing downwards

Step 6 of 8

If it’s still leaking pull up on the float and see if this stops the flow of water - you should be able to hear it flowing

7
Step 7 of 8

If you lifting the float up stops the flow of water it means that the rope between float valve and float is too long - you need to shorten it

Step 8 of 8

Either do this by untying the existing rope and tightening it up. Or cut off the existing one and put a new rope on. Make sure it’s tight and we’ll tied off.
