The Performa 268 with 740 Logix timer is Autotrol's metered water softener control valve, managing the brine draw, backwash and rinse stages of regeneration based on measured water usage. The 740 Logix electronic board handles the programming for hardness, capacity and regeneration timing, giving reliable automated softening once set up correctly. This is a complete replacement valve assembly, stocked by WrekinWater for servicing or replacing an existing 268-740 Logix installation.

Symptoms that mean you need this part
- The valve won't complete or trigger a regeneration cycle and part-level repairs haven't fixed it
- The valve body is cracked or leaking at more than one point rather than a single failed seal
- The 740 Logix board is faulty or throwing persistent errors alongside signs of mechanical wear
- Softened water quality has declined, suggesting the resin isn't regenerating fully or on the correct schedule
- The valve and timer are old enough that a full replacement is more practical than sourcing individual spares
Why it fails / why it matters
The Performa 268 valve and its 740 Logix timer work together to track water usage and drive the full softening regeneration sequence, so when either the mechanical valve or the electronic control degrades, the whole cycle becomes unreliable even if the resin bed itself is still good. Once the valve body shows wear alongside timer, drive or meter faults, or the specific board revision is difficult to source spares for, replacing the complete 268-740 Logix assembly is the most reliable way to restore consistent, correctly metered softening.

How to fit it
- Isolate the softener at the bypass valve and shut off the mains supply before disconnecting any pipework
- Record the existing drain, brine line and wiring configuration with photos before removing the old valve
- Confirm with a competent installer that the Performa 268 with 740 Logix timer matches your tank thread and riser before ordering or fitting
- Disconnect the drain line, brine line and control wiring, then remove the old valve from the tank, taking care with the riser tube
- Fit the new 268-740 Logix valve with fresh o-rings at the tank connection and reconnect drain, brine line and wiring
- Programme the 740 Logix timer with your water hardness, resin volume and regeneration settings before commissioning
- Restore mains supply, run a manual regeneration cycle, and check every joint for leaks before returning the softener to service
