Default Houston JS1c crash ONLY (not in any way about a Puchaczs, oranything else!)

Does anyone know what failures are possible (or that have happened or
are known) with other manufactures wing water systems?

I remember a clubmate telling me that he had a sticky dump valve on his
ASW-20 which resulted in only one wing emptying when it dumped water.
Said it happened twice and that he didn't notice any problem in the air
either time - just that the full wing thunked down soon after he touched
down at the end of the flight.
