Is it worth trying a repair kit? Or should I just replace the whole check valve? Looks like a $60 difference.

I didn't know that they had a repair kit for the stainless carbonator Check Valve. If you can find or order it, then go for it. I would imagine that it wouldn't be a stockable item. The Carbonated Check valve is normally an off the shelf item.

It's normally not worth it to my clients for my time to rebuild it. Something this size is faster and less expensive to replace than with my labor fee to rebuild.

Repair kit has been installed and drip has stopped. I examined the replaced parts and couldn't see any defects. Guess it doesn't take much to cause a leak.

Watts repair kit for the SD-3.
