Help. This is the second time the fibre washer on the ball valve inlet has split and flooded the house. It's a recent tank. First time tit happened I assumed the valve was defective and replaced it. But obviously not. I think the tank just has to much flex.

The (plastic) backing plate seems to be in the right place. Whats the best solution? A better backing plate, change the tank fill level, smaller ball on valve, flexi on the inlet or other?
