MAINTENANCE
Attention
Any valve maintenance and/or installation operation must be carried out in the
absence of hydraulic pressure. For this reason, disconnect the water delivery
line to the valve.

Cause
Corrective action
Leak from pilot
1 - Turn off the water inlet.
2 - Turn off the water outlet.
3 - Disconnect the connection tube between the pilot and the drain connection.
4 - Remove the 3 screws securing the manifold. Remove both o-rings and replace
them with two soft rubber discs of the same outer diameter, each measuring
2mm in thickness.
5 - Refit manifold by tightening the three screws and taking care not to
force them.
6 - Reopen the water inlet and outlet. Once the procedure is complete, if the outlet
leak has disappeared, the fault was due to the pilot. Replace the pilot.

7 - If the water leaking from the outlet is hard, the assembled inlet piston needs
to be replaced, reference 1918/05.
8 - If the water leaking from the outlet is soft, the assembled outlet piston needs
to be replaced, reference 1918-C/05.

g) - Check that there are no obstructions in the connection system.
h) - Check that there is a flow when the float is in lower position.
i) - Check that there is no formation of a salt bridge in the brine tank.
j) - Check that all components of the brine valve operate efficiently without any
leaks from any fittings.
