Pressure Loss
Problem Reason Solution
1. Reduced pressure
entering the unit.
❑ The prefilter is clogged.
▪
Replace the clogged prefilter.
2. The upper and/or
lower distributors
are plugged.
❑ Foreign matter from the input lines is
accumulating in the distributors.
▪
Clean the distributors. Add a prefilter to
eliminate the foreign matter before it
enters the unit.
Equipment Noise
Problem Reason Solution
1. The unit makes a
squealing noise.
❑ The control disc is not flat on the ceramic,
causing the drain valve to flutter.
▪
Replace the control disc, balance piston
spring and the balance piston O-ring. You
may also want to change the drain valves
and seals.
2. The unit makes a
gurgling, hissing or
bubbling sound.
❑ On new installations, there may be some
air trapped in the unit initially.
❑ Air is being drawn into the plumbing.
❑ The brine line and/or the brine valve are
not air checked.
▪
Run through an entire cycle to allow the air
to escape.
▪
Identify air leaks in the plumbing and fix
them.
▪
Identify and replace the faulty part(s).
Unit Sticks in Cycle
Problem Reason Solution
1. The unit sticks in
regeneration or
backwash cycle.
❑ The regeneration flow path is plugged at
the regeneration nozzle or flow control.
❑ The regeneration drive pawl and/or spring
is weak or broken.
❑ There is a damaged tooth on the control
disc.
❑ The eccentric pinion is worn.
❑ On backwashing filters, low pressure or
poor backwashing may cause a plugged
bed.
▪
Clean the regeneration flow path.
▪
Replace the regeneration drive pawl.
▪
Replace the control disc.
▪
Replace the eccentric pinion (snap fit).
▪
Increase inlet pressure or the frequency of
backwash. Unit may need re-bedding.
2. The unit sticks in
service cycle.
❑ The regeneration start pawl is broken or
missing.
❑ The control disc has a worn or missing
tooth.
▪
Replace or install regeneration start pawl.
▪
Replace control disc.
