You know, the advertising companies used to sell the benefits of products.
Put a tiger in your tank, Chesterfields cure throat scratch, and the other
ads. Tony the Tiger says they're grrrrrrEAT!!!!

Now days, we advertise what isn't. Caffeine free, water free,
pseudoephedrine free, lead free, mercury free, cadmium free.

It's invaded usenet. Have a valve that's stick free, leak free, reduction
free.

I recommend spending a few bucks, about half an hour, and 200 curse-words
to
replace the sucker with a quarter-turn ball valve.

pmstall new valve at more convenient location, and always install ball
valves, they dont tend to freeze in location, dont leak, and dont
decrease water flow
