Chlorine Damage to Flapper Valve Discs

|
Main Flapper Valves from an Autotrol
after prolonged use on a chlorinated water source.
|
| The Autotrol valve can be Do It Yourself Repairs. You will need to replace
the flapper valves discs, the backwash flow control ball, and possibly the
injector, brine flow control ball and pipe adapter gaskets. |
|
Complete replacement of the upper valve body is also an option
to be considered.
Check out the K-5 and the 24NC
valve body modules.
NOTE: Autotrol is now using materials that are more chlorine tolerant as of
2003.
