The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by press- ing sideways and unsnapping it from its latch. Chemically clean this in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replace the regenerant piston if needed. To remove the main downflow or upflow piston fully extend the piston rod and then unsnap the main piston, from its latch by pressing on the side with the number. Chemically clean this in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replace the main piston.
Reattach the main piston to the drive cap assembly. Reattach the regenerant piston (if needed) to the main piston. Do not lu- bricate the piston rod, main piston or regenerant piston. Lubri- cant will adversely affect the clear lip seals. Reinsert the drive cap assembly and piston into the spacer stack assembly and hand tighten the drive cap assembly. Continue to tighten the drive cap assembly using a screwdriver as a ratchet until the black
Reattach the drive assembly to the control valve and connect all plugs. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. This display should flash all wording, then flash the software version and then reset the valve to the service position.
Spacer Stack Assembly
To access the spacer stack assembly remove the drive as- sembly, drive cap assembly and piston. The spacer stack assembly can be removed easily without tools by using thumb and forefinger. Inspect the black
The spacer stack assembly may be chemically cleaned (dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar) or wiped with a soft cloth.
The spacer stack assembly can be pushed in to the control valve body bore by hand. Since the spacer stack assembly can be compressed it is easier to use a blunt object (5/8" to
Reattach the drive cap assembly and the piston(s) and the drive assembly.

The plug and/or injector can be pried out with a small screw- driver. The plug can be wiped clean. If the plug leaks replace the entire plug. The injector consists of a throat and a nozzle. Chemically clean the injector with vinegar or sodium bisul- fite. The holes can be blown out with air. Both pieces have smaller diameter holes that control the flow rates of water to insure that the proper concentration of regenerant is used. Sharp objects, which can score the plastic, should not be used to clean the injector. Scoring the injector or increasing the diameter of the hole could change the operating param- eters of the injector.
Two holes are labeled DN and UP. Check for compliance. See Table Below.
