I recently partially disassembled my softener attempting to fix it. I followed the troubleshooting advice in the manual, and thought the turbine was not spinning therefore the flow meter was not working... anyway, the big issue now is I put it back together and it leaks like a sieve! The bypass and valve body are plastic (nylon whatever) and the only thing keeping it from leaking is everything is aligned perfectly and the mating faces are parallel and the o rings are good and lubed.... so this is super difficult when the bypass is attached to the pipes... what's the best bet for success here? Turn off the supply, pull the bypass, disassemble, replace o rings, lube, reassemble and then attach the entire thing back to the pipes? Should I get some kind of semi-flexible connection like a stainless hose or whatever?
Any advice is appreciated!
Thanks in advance,
