best float valve that takes up the least amount of space?

[mjwalsh]

On our 1987 original install ... Specialty Equip Self Serve we have a powder-liquid soap-wax dispenser. The density of the mixed powder soap is controlled by a small Little Giant circulating pump ... a very good system. The very small petite-like float that maintains the necessary water level within the bottom soap tank directly below the screen for the powder needs to be replaced fairly soon.

Any recommendations for replacing this float? We don't seem to be able to find the exact OEM replacement float valve in Dultmeier, Windtrax, or KleenRite Catalogs?

I just got off the phone with Jim at Tri Valley Equip since they picked up on many of Specialty's parts & he recommended General out of Minneapolis which is closer to Bismarck than most companies which means ... with no extra charge over night super low cost shipping with Speedee Delivery shipping (available here serving a seven state region). Any thoughts on the repertoire of General floats? We may have to plug the existing hole & drill a new hole in the stainless steel & make a hydrominder ??? float work ... we are not sure.

We would be happy to find a way to match the exact internal diaphragm just in case the diaphragm is used somewhere else. We have several diaphragms for the water valves on our laundromat side but not one that matches this float valve. Is there an outfit out there that specializes in water valve-float diaphragms? Oh well ... one way or another we will solve the problem.
