Hello!
I'm experiencing a leak in a water compression valve that runs to our backyard. I've been using it recently to hose our garden, and just today it starting a slight leak when the valve is shut and a bigger leak when it's open.
I read that the packing nut could need tightening, but it wouldn't budge for me with a lot of WD40 and an adjustable wrench. The leak is coming from just below the knob (attached 2 pic). Any ideas of what I could use to loosen the nut or if the issue might be something else altogether?
Cheers,
Matt
