I finally swapped out the joker valve in Touche's head because it was leaking back. Didn't leak much. Just some of the water between the bowl and the anti-siphon loop.
As usual, it had become scaled up. I threw the old one in some vinegar and most of the scale dissolved but the rubber was so distorted it was dumpster material. I coated the new joker valve with TefGel hoping to get more life out of it. I think Peggy Hall, the head mistress recommends Super Lube for heads. Also, I read that throwing some vinegar in the head routinely minimizes scale build up. This really isn't a big thing for me. I get the valves wholesale for under $10 and changing one is only a 10 minute job. But I'd sure like to skip it altogether. Any other tricks? Dennis C. Touche' 35-1 #83 Mandeville, LA
