check out this anti-siphon valve right here. If we pop this on, you can see the water rising right there and it just continues to drip a little bit. But I went to Home Depot, I picked up this little anti-siphon silcock valve for the vacuum breaker, and really it's going to pretty much be a direct replacement right here. Grab something here to take this out. Very simple. It's just got really these two little pieces with the O-ring and the little gasket. Look down inside here, nothing else. It's cleaned out. This little piece right here, just set that right down on the top with the gasket facing up. So this piece screws out. Check this out. These are the same. This actually has a place to turn it. Pretty much can just go hand tight and it's going to be fine. Just hit it just to snug it up just a little bit. So that's it. It's not leaking. It works. And we're good to go.
