Must not have been the case. Likely the blade is connected to the water valve so that if it doesn’t travel far enough shut the water continues to run.

Over the years of full timing, I've replaced all the parts on mine a number of times. the water valve, if needed is a simple fix. I've noticed that the valve Is prone to leakage if the water pressure is low, give that a check. If you have access to the pedal side you can replace the valve parts without removing the toilet but for the first time pull the toilet, getting the peddle back on is a chore and best done o n the table with a beer. I actually like the style ll, you can rebuild all the moving parts in 15 minutes once you get it out.

On my 'to do' list this spring during the annual boatyard refit. Mine developed an annoying intermittent leak last year. Took the foot valve apart & put it back together a few times as we were mid trip & not anywhere to get a new one.
Cheap & easy part.
