We have a Macclean iron filter that is 20+ years old. Media has never been changed. Controller/timer has gears stripped and is in need of a rebuild or replacement. Tank seems to be in good condition (looking from outside). Filter has not been used for over a year. Backwash function has been done manually for 10+ years (using pliers and screwdriver to position piston). Hydrocharger leaks and is dirty but still functions.
I guess we should replace media and controller.
Are parts or replacement controller still available?
Is it worth rebuilding (vs. new filter)?
Ours was a model NF1001M
Thanks for any input.
