Febco 3/4" Reduced Pressure Assembly leaking
Ok, I blew out my lines last year and the Febco 3/4" Reduced Pressure Assembly was spewing air out of the bottom relief valve(along with blowing out the lines). This year when I hooked it back up all it does is let the water coming through it clear out the bottom relief valve. Aside from buying a new unit, how can I fix it or is there something else that I need to do to "pressurize the unit"?
fouled check valve
disassembly to inspect
Upon disassembly, one of the check valves snapped or was snapped and one of the springs broke or was broke.
Where can I get the parts for the unit? All of the stores have the pvb units but I don't think it will work with this unit, am I wrong? I can't imagine that the little springs and plastic pieces can cost that much so I would just like to replace the inards of the unit. Also what is used to seal the unit when putting it back together?
I am going to order another unit in the meantime to have a backup incase this happens again.
