Yes, I’ve used the cheap white foot valves before. I had a pump in my boathouse in my last property that I used for watering grass, power washing docks, boat etc. Not for house water supply. The original valve was the same one the house came with that I bought 17 years ago and was still working.
I like the milk carton idea.
I like the hot water to soften plastic idea too.
Neighbor that shut the pump down for me said the pump was good and warm but not hot.
Thanks.
