INSTALLATION & USE

Replacement Procedure

  1. Relieve system pressure and isolate the control valve from water supply before disassembly
  2. Remove the valve cover and spacer stack to access the flow control chamber where the backwash ball seats
  3. Extract the old ball, inspect the seating surface for wear or debris, and clean thoroughly before installing the new 1030502 ball
  4. Reassemble the valve components in reverse order, ensuring proper alignment and torque specifications per Autotrol service manual
  5. Manually initiate a regeneration cycle to verify proper backwash flow and brine refill timing
COMPATIBILITY

System Fit

The Autotrol 1030502 backwash ball is engineered for Autotrol 255, 263, and 460i series control valves commonly found in residential water softener and filter systems. This OEM replacement part maintains factory specifications for brine refill timing and backwash flow rates. Verify your existing control valve model before ordering, as ball diameter and seating geometry vary across valve families. Not compatible with Fleck, Clack, or other third-party control valve brands.

🔧 If your softener is over-brining or short-cycling, a worn or pitted backwash ball is often the culprit. Inspect the brass surface under good lighting—any scoring or corrosion means replacement is overdue, not optional.
