What brand of Dump Valve?

[Full.Monte]

I have Valterra dump valves on my MH. My black water valve leaks, so I ordered a couple new seals and installed them. During the installation, I noticed a groove scored into the plastic blade. I turned the valve around so the scored side was on the downstream side and put in the new seals. It still leaks, but not as much. I'm going to replace both valves. Can I put in any brand, or are they different enough that I should stick to the Valterra? What brand works well? Thanks!

I would recommend staying with the Valterra brand that you have as my experiance has found that generic replacements are not always what they seem.

Thanks, JC2. I ordered new valves of the same brand.
