I swapped out the pre filter and now I'm only getting water if the softener is by-passed. Do I have air in the system? What I'm I missing?
Thanks for any help,Tony

No soft water after filter change on a Kinetico

There is a plastic rocker inside the valve that, if broken, will not allow water thru the unit. I have a picture of it but don't know how to post it.

It worked fine before the filter change but now I only have water on by-pass. I could have damaged the valve somehow?
Skippy, you have to go advanced so you have all the posting options. There is a thing looks like a paper clip, that's for attaching photo's.
Is that plastic part that easy to break?
Is it one of them that if you look at it wrong it breaks?

No, I did not.

Yes the plastic rocker can break at anytime. When broken, it causes both pistons to close shutting off the water supply. The rocker is the ones in the upper right side of the pic (small piece). Thanks for the help.

IIRC when it switches tank, the rocker forces the opposit piston to close preventing water flow from the tank in regen. They do break easily with age.
