Draw off sticking Open

[backyardsugarer]

How do you service/clean the Marcland Auto Draw off's? Mine worked well for the whole day then all the sudden it stuck part way open. I hit the open valve few times and got it to close. Same thing happened later in the day. Thoughts? Thanks.

Chris,
I have only had one two years. and ours has worked great but I would imagine that they could get fouled with a piece of debris and they might not close. Remove wash out and inspect.

A valve is a valve is a valve And some days my ball valve gets tough to close with all the niter flakes that build up in the drawoff box. Do you have a paddle valve or diafram type.
