Autotrol softener leaks water from the top of the control valve

Safety: Bypass the softener and relieve pressure before tightening or removing any fittings.

• Identify leak source: Dry the area and observe where water first appears: around the valve cover, injector cap, or plumbing connections.
• Tighten fittings: Gently tighten any loose NPT or compression fittings on the inlet, outlet, and brine connections. Do not overtighten plastic threads.
• Replace O-rings: If water seeps from the seam between the valve cover and body, replace the valve cover O-ring using an Autotrol seal kit.
• Inspect injector cap: Remove and inspect the injector cap and its O-ring. Replace if cracked or flattened.
• Cracked body: If the valve body is cracked (often from freezing), the entire Autotrol control valve body may need replacement.
