Ya man these valves don't work. Seems like everybody gets their own unique, random configuration that actually solves the puzzle.
Btw for people brute forcing it: When you solve it, you get indication of such. You don't have to go downstairs and check, just keep fiddling til it tells you the water is running.
Oh ya and maybe don't lock us out of the basement after restoring power if we still need boards from down there. Especially not when the valve puzzle is completely random, making reloading to before that point totally not worth it.
