Trying to replace that upper part is going to be a pain, the housing looks like the omni filter with built in bypass.
Bypass goes bad one is DOA.....
Personally I would say cut that one out put in...

The valve control is the Fleck 5600 meter... the above link will give you...

The tank looks to be about a .5 cubic foot at best.. I have seen some of the older ones that there was really no way of getting the media out of the tank.
Most likely you would be ahead if you...

After you refilled the media tank with the new resin and put the upper basket back into place, there should have been an O ring on top of the distributor , is it possible that the o ring is missing?...

I just took one apart that was part of a trade in.
The ball goes in first , then the little table with the legs up and then the plunger.
At least that was the way the one that I took apart was.

How old is the system?
It was bought from a Culligan dealer correct?
There is a resin that can correct ph or increase ph but it is mainly for large commercial plants... my guess and it is only a...

What kind of salt are you using?
How long has this ph difference been going on?

Any control valve will pull brine from the salt tank til the air check or ball stops up the hole in the bottom of the float assembly so that all the water is removed and no air is pulled in.
Time is...

I would do some trouble shooting on the unit.
Check the bypass to make sure that it can be used should it be needed, either the piston type or the turn the handle .
Push the start regen and then...

There should be a piston behind the valve that is the bypass if that was bought with the unit and installed at the same time, by pushing the piston end or turning a handle 90degrees that will bypass...

If you have removed the end of the cable that goes into the body where the turbin is as and waved a magnet closely over the end and there is no flashing of the water drop, and you have checked the...

Sadly there are no parts for your system today.
If the motor is turning but it is not getting the cams to turn then there is problem and with no parts other than what you might find used, it is time...

If your system is of the brass body, then most likely the main motor is gone.
If your system is the plastic body that looks like the Fleck ProFlo or 5000 then the cam motor is gone.

To get what ever water that you can out you might dry a wet dry shop vac to remove the water from the salt tank area.

Remember that your system puts water into the salt at the start of the...

Replacing the resin if needed is done by removing the valve control from the top of the media tank and then emptying the tank of the resin and putting new resin and gravel into the tank.
Depending...

If you tried to pull the assembly up and out of that black tube and it would not move, it should move real easy. Take about a gallon of really HOT water and poor down that tube as there is most...

Fine, I will just leave it to the rest of you and stay away from here.
To many starting to sound alike.

Sounds like that either the bypass is leaking untreated water or there is a leak in the valve body or the tube into the valve body is in need of replacement.

If the unit is showing water usage and...

With the 10x54 that would be 1.5 cubic foot of carbon and about 13lbs of the very small gravel.
Now my thought would be that you the owner has a right to know the media that is in use, not the Corp...

The media tank is most likely 10" across and 47" high?
It is good that you are learning about the parts on the system.

The bed could be getting close to needing a change out, one good sign is the with the water at the same quality and usage the same the system has to go more often for the water to be treated.
Yours...

Very good news that you have it up and running again.
It is good that you have learned a few things about your system so that you can deal with some simple trouble shooting and get it running.

Photos of the current valve and some photos of that you found.
Then we will have an idea as to what is going on.
I know that there are green end plugs for the pistons of the 5600 and then there are...

1851118512The wand is a one way check valve, to pull in what ever it is put into.
Make sure that the drain line is free and clear and not plugged.
Note the injector assembly that I am talking...

There is some thing strange going on.
It is possible that the injector that was removed was not put back in right?
Photos would help to clear some ideas as to what is going on or not going on.
