8 customers mention5 positive3 negative

Customers are mixed about the fit of the valve. Some mention that it fits great, while others say that it does not fit their water softener or resin tank. The fasteners line up perfectly, and the swap was completed in less than an hour. However, some customers report issues with the cover not fitting the F11 model, and that the tube did not fit inside the unit. The tiny cam is too small to move accurately, and it's a guess to the indicator.

"...existing valve body on zeolite bed using the 3 x 516" fasteners - perfect fit, everything lined up perfectly, swap completed in less than 10 minutes...." Read more

Fit great
This was pretty easy to swap out. The first 2 photos are the old control head. It finally got a broken gear on the middle gear. I have kept this going for since 1997. This control head works great I just had change the salt setting & the use gallon amount in between regeneration cycles. Use O ring lube before installing. The last 2 pictures are the new one installed. Now I have a lot of spare parts.
