Oh man, I'm sorry to hear it! How did it fail? Any chance you have a photo that shows how it's mounted?

maybe the angle not being 90 degrees to the water level

Twpilot is likely right. The angle the valve is at is likely not allowing it to seal properly. An adjustable valve will help, I'm sending you a PM
