toilet valve won't hold water
Our trailer is 3.5 years old and the plastic toilet valve is getting hard deposits on it and won't hold water when its closed. How to fix?? All suggestions appreciated, especially the easy ones!

Only use silicone grease on rubber type seals. Regular plumbers grease is a petroleum product like vaseline and, when first applied, seems to work well but over a period of time will swell the gasket and render it unusable. Used plumbers grease for years and after having stuck or hard to use valves, switched to vasoline which was suggested by a rep from Valterra, continued to experience the same issues. Use silicone grease which is not a petroleum product and is available at Home Depot.
/\ This... plumbers silicone, on rubber products. It works on door seals on cars, and on fly fishing lines too, to help them stay water proof and float.
