Turns out, the valves were not the problem. They came and replaced the pressure tank, over the water heater, which gives out after 7 to 10 years.
Problem solved, and bill only $100 approx.
Call - Anthony Torri Plumbing. 352-330-5900
Good luck.

I posted earlier about this problem and received a response from a home repair person who is an advertiser on this site. He told me that the real problem is a pressure tank above the water heater. This was not a kind of work that he did so he recommended Mike Scott Plumbing, 352-748-9111.

I had them do the work and have had no problems with the water valves since that time.

They have a web site which is very informative. I have since had them install safety grab bars in my showers and was satisfied with the work they did in that case.

They charge a flat rate for just showing up and then an hourly rate, divided into 15 minute increments for the work, and the cost of the part. My repair was done for $105.
