Hi everybody, I've got a Cascadian ultrafilter that uses a Fleck 7000 XTR head. I just noticed that it's leaking water to the drain constantly, so I assume it's time to rebuild the valve. It's probably only around 6 years old now, but I'm not surprised given the condition of our water.
As I understand I need to order a seal & spacer kit, but I'm unsure whether it's normal to install a new piston at the same time. Its $20 for the seals and another $60 for the piston so I don't want to get one if I don't need it. Since this isn't a softener, I assume I would need the "filter piston" and not the "standard piston" which seems to be used with softeners. Just want to verify before I order, and I can't find much info online.
Any other info (like preferred source of parts) would be appreciated.
Thanks!
