Duct tape on my swamp cooler line, a handyman in Tucson was right

My neighbor Rick, who fixes swamp coolers for a living, told me to wrap the float valve connection with duct tape before the monsoon season, and I laughed at him because it sounded so janky. Two weeks later, a leak soaked my utility room floor and warped the particleboard shelf, so I tried his tape trick and it held perfectly through 4 rainstorms. Has anyone else gotten low-tech fixes from old timers that beat the expensive repair parts?
