As for the one you have now are you sure you installed the valve into the common air line for both bags? Whatever went wrong there's no way the dump valve would only dump one bag if its plumbed in correctly.

I'm going to try and get one to hook up next weekend will keep you posted. Do you have a part number for the Mertior valve. thanks
