Hey Steve,
Just reading back through this and I understand the internal failure of the Kantleak valve filling the fresh tank in all valve positions . . . but, why did the overflow from the fresh tank not drain the extra water ? Maybe it was frozen ? I'm just thinking through how to make sure this tank failure doesn't happen if the Kantleak valve pops a seal.

Rob-replacing the kantleak cartridge today, the new one has 4 seat washers (guide shows 4 too), your guide has only 3.
Assuming that’s an update from when you did it?
Thx

John, since this is a very old thread, you may want to pm Rob of Cate&Rob. Maybe this will also get it to him @Cate&Rob.

John - I think that picture from Rob references one of the four missing "o" rings which was a the problem. Attached picture of my new valve replace in 2015 with four "o"rings as s/b the case assuming this is what you are talking about. The picture does not show it but there were 2 "o" rings on the other side as well.

Thanks Dan, I saw mo difference in operation between the old one with 3 o rings and the replacement with 4.
Mine was getting extremely tough to operate and I planned on applying more grease and reinstalling it.
When I saw the 4 rings, I installed the new one and am keeping the old one as a spare.
I also forgot to drain the hot water tank and received a nice bath when I pulled the cartridge.John, Susan & Luke

Hi John & Dan,
Now that you describe this, I do recall this being the situation. Apparently the valve cartridge only uses 3 ports (the 4th one might be sealed off?) and thus Kantleak only installed seals where needed in production. For service, it "looks like" a seal is missing from the 4th location, so they build service parts with 4 seals.
