I am searching the web for some good rodent watering valves. The ones that are curently on my mouse rack are not flowing like they should. Can anyone point me toward a good website.
Thanks

....i am searching for a catalog and cant find it. it might just be valentine.com they are high priced on alot of things but the price on the edstrom rodent valves is the cheapest (or it was the last time i ordered). i just remembered their phone number 1-800-get-stuff, seriously that is their number. the edstrom valves work great, i have some that are 10-12 years old, if they start to drip i change them out with a good one (always have extras) and then take the bad one apart and let it dry, scrape the scale off, and maybe replace the o-ring or diaphragm. also make sure the stainless steel "rod"?,, the thingy they lick,,,(boy this is sounding just wrong)is free of scale and slime. hope this helps. john yocum

All you need is new diaphragms inside the valve. Call Eric Erb from Reptiletubs.com. He has all that stuff in stock.

you may need to clean your filter screen from your water reservoir tank. i have some valves with the same diaphragms in them from when i bought them years ago. i seem to notice dripping if the system has "low pressure" i realize this is a low pressure system but if i notice dripping on several valves i have taken the filter screen out and scrubbed it real good with a toothbrush and solved the prob. i also will loosen the valves two housing pieces, allow it to "flush itself" for a few seconds and then tighten it back up (snug not too tight) this will also fix a drip in some cases. john yocum
