Hey Richard. Do you know if the round ball replacements have an internal check valve? I been using one without. I wonder if my recirculating vent is moving open and closed and I'm not noticing. Need to check that out.

Kind of mute for me since I'm fixing my original. But it was pretty lame of me not to realize the need.
