These valves are not unique to evoqua. We have had issues with them at a couple facilities, but our vendor was specialty water. The screw in the handle is the issue. It either strips out or endlessly tightens until the plastic is all gummed up and no longer works. I had one where it did this and water was spraying out of the knob

The ball valve in question was in both the old style MarCor wall boxes and the new style. I literally am replacing ball valves weekly. Being pro active and during a vinegar disinfect I found several valves so hard to turn that I took it upon myself to replace anyone that was sticky. Within a month I had 2 bicarb valves a week breaking and usually one acid valve. I’ve reached out to Evoqua on the subject and they state it’s the first they have heard of this issue. I, as a biomed cover clinics in Oregon, Washington and occasionally Alaska and have had bad valves in all states. I have had nothing but issues. The old style we had breakage too but not on this level. I have requested full replacement of every box at our clinics effected. That is how bad this issue is.
