Traditional shut off valves have some disadvantages compared to the ball type ones. First of all, there are parts inside the body valve that are made of rubber. Because water contains chlorine, those O-rings and washers shrink and get cracked. Secondly, the diameter in the valve gets reduced, which restricts the water flow and decreases pressure. Ball type valves have plastic around them that is not affected by chlorine and in the opening position allows water to flow through freely. Need valves replaced or an upgrade?
