Maintenance

A) Do not assume that the Valve’s Solenoid is not

operational. Check it by performing a Function
Test as described in Section 6.4.

B) Over tightening of the tube fittings into the

valve’s body can cause the Diversion Valve
internal ports to move out of proper position
resulting in internal blockage or bypassing.

Refer to Figure 8e through 8f, page 8-15 and
follow the instructions listed below.

1) Remove Diversion Valve from the system.

2) Position the manual over ride button

OUTWARD to normal position by first
pushing the button inward and rotating
it counter clockwise allowing it to spring
outward away from the coil body.

3) With your mouth, blow into port “P”, air

should expel from port “B” which is the
“normally open” or “bad water” port.

4) If it is extremely difficult to expel air from

port “B” or if no air expels from port “B”,
then valve needs to be replaced.

5) Again blow into port “P” while plugging

port “B” with a finger tip. No air should
expel from port “A”.

6) If air expels from port “A”, then valve

need to be replaced.

7) Position the manual over ride button

INWARD to manual over ride position by
pushing the button inward and rotating it
clockwise allowing it to lock inward close
to the coil body.

8) With your mouth, blow into port “P”, air

should expel from port “A” which is the
“normally closed” or “good water” port.

9) If it is extremely difficult to expel air from

port “A” or if no air expels from port “A”,
then valve need to be replaced.

10) Again blow into port “P” while plugging

port “A” with a fingertip. No air should
expel from port “B”.

11) If air expels from port “B”, then valve

need to be replaced.

C) Solenoid Valve Coil Check:

1) The 3-way Product Diversion Valve

Solenoid operates from 12 VDC.

To check the condition of the Diversion
Valve solenoid coil:

a) While System is operating and producing

potable water, using a voltmeter set to DC,
check the voltage at the din connector
terminals at the top of the 3-Way Diversion
Valve’s solenoid.

b) If 12 VDC is present at the din connector

terminals then the control circuit is operating
normally, but the 3-way Diversion Valve Coil
