MediPac, Tank-Feed Operator Manual
Replacing Seals and Spacers:
The seals and spacers in the valve should be changed every 3 to 5
years. This may have to be done sooner if there is a malfunction of
the valves. This procedure applies to Fleck head models (2750, 2850,
2900, and 3150)
* You will need the following tools:
- Appropriate socket
- Seal hook
- Puller
- Spacer
- Spacers/Seals Kit
1. Turn off water supply to valve. Next cycle the valve to backwash
position, then to service. Now remove electrical plug from outlet.
2. Remove control box cover.
3. Disconnect the brine line from the injector housing to
the brine valve (if your unit has timed brine tank fill).
4. Remove the two cap-screws that hold the back plate
to the valve.
5. Grasp the back plate on both sides and slowly pull
end plug and piston assembly out of the valve body and
lay aside
.
(
see figure 1
)
6. Remove the seal first using the wire hook with the
finger loop.
(see figure 2)
7. The puller tool (use only for removing the spacers)
has three retractable pins, retained by a rubber ring, at
one end. They are retracted or pushed out by pulling
or pushing the center button the opposite end.
8. Insert the pin end of the spacer tool into the valve body
with the pins retracted (button pulled back). Push the tool
tight against the spacer and push the button in. When the
button is pushed in, the pins are pushed out to engage the
¼ diameter holes in the spacer. Remove the tool from the
valve body. The spacer will be on the end. Pull the center
button back, the pins will be retracted and the spacer can
be removed from the spacer tool.
(see figure 3)
9. Alternately remove the remaining seals and spacers in
accordance with steps 6 and 8.
10. The last or end spacer does not have any holes for the
pins of the spacer tool to engage, therefore if the end
spacer does not come out on the first try, try again using
the wire hook with the finger loop.
