The 742 timer initiates this cycle purely on a 12-day clock rather than measured flow, which is simple and reliable but means the whole valve and control head has to work correctly for the system to regenerate at all. When the piston, seals or timer mechanism wear out, the usual outcome is either a valve stuck mid-cycle, water running to drain continuously, or a system that stops regenerating altogether, and at that point replacing the complete 268-742 assembly is more practical than attempting a partial repair.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy this from WrekinWater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrekinWater has supplied water softener parts to installers, commercial engineers and DIY customers for over 15 years from its base in Bettisfield, Shropshire, and stocks the full range of Pentair Autotrol, Fleck, Clack and Kinetico valves and control heads.

The optical components inside the sensor degrade with age, and the sensor itself can be fouled by scale, sediment or biofilm carried in through the meter, or damaged by moisture ingress at the connector. Once the beam stops being interrupted cleanly, the controller either miscounts water usage or stops registering flow altogether, which on a volumetric system means regenerations happen too early, too late, or not at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy this from WrekinWater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrekinWater has been supplying genuine and genuine-spec Autotrol parts for over 15 years from its Bettisfield, Shropshire base, and as specialists in Pentair Fleck, Autotrol, Clack and Kinetico components it stocks the exact sensor your Logix or Performa controller needs rather than a generic substitute.

When the switch contacts wear, the actuating lever bends, or the switch fails electrically, the board stops receiving that position signal and either hunts endlessly for home or throws an error and stops mid-cycle. Replacing the microswitch restores accurate position sensing so the valve completes its cycle and returns to service reliably.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy this from WrekinWater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrekinWater has supplied genuine-spec Autotrol control parts to installers and DIY customers for over 15 years from its Bettisfield, Shropshire base, stocking the Pentair Fleck, Autotrol, Clack and Kinetico ranges so the exact component can be matched rather than guessed.

Because the cams and gear teeth are moulded into a single plastic shaft, years of cycling combined with grit or scale in the mechanism gradually wear the lobes and teeth down until they slip or fail to engage properly. Once that happens the motor can run without actually turning the valve through its stages, leaving the softener stuck mid-cycle or cycling incorrectly, and the camshaft itself needs replacing to restore reliable operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy buy this from WrekinWater\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWrekinWater has supplied Autotrol 263 and 268 mechanical valve components including camshafts for over 15 years from its Bettisfield, Shropshire base, using its experience with more than 50,000 customers to keep the parts that actually fail in stock rather than just the popular ones.
