VALVE NOT WORKING

Problem:

• Water running to drain
• Brine tank overflowing
• Motor stalled
• Water leaking from valve

Solution:

1. Before you start to service a valve, make sure it is in the service position. Place bypass valve in bypass to shut off water. Loosen 3 of 5 hex screws at top back of valve. This will relieve pressure in the softener.

2. If water is running to drain in service, if brine tank is overflowing, or the motor is not turning the valve (valve stuck):

3. Turn the water on and check to see if failure is corrected.

4. If water is leaking from the top of the valve, or between #3 and #14, replace o-rings 4, 5 and 8. Turn water on and check again for leaks.

5. If the brine tank is overfilling, with little or no water flow from the valve drain hose during regeneration, check flow plug #1, drain elbow #2, and the valve drain hose for obstruction.
