STS Ranch Water Trough Float Valve with Sediment Filter | STS Ranch
The brass float valve that came with your stock tank will leak within 18 months under hard water or livestock nosing. The STS Ranch Water Trough Float Valve uses a stainless steel mechanism plus an inline sediment filter that catches grit before it plugs the valve seat. 5+ year service life, standard 3/4" NPT fit.
How it works
The stainless steel valve mechanism resists the wear that kills brass valves. The inline sediment filter sits upstream of the valve seat and catches grit before it plugs the seat or wears the seal. Replace the filter cartridge every 6–12 months depending on water hardness.

FAQ
Does it fit all stock tanks?
Yes — 3/4" NPT thread matches every standard galvanized or poly stock tank.
How often do I replace the filter?
Every 6–12 months depending on water hardness. Signs to replace: reduced fill rate or pulsing flow.
Is it freeze-resistant?
The valve itself is freeze-resistant. The supply line is the weak point — insulate or bury below frost depth.
