My Polaris 280 backup valve was leaking so I replaced it. The new one failed immediately so I ordered another one from a different company and it failed after a few minutes. I also took the new valve gears out and cleaned them and looked for clogs but I didn’t see anything. Any ideas what’s causing the valves to fail?

Did you report the problems to Polaris?
You tell us nothing about the failure modes of the two valves.
