I realize that the Rainsoft Q valve is osolete. But with my finacial situation, I canno afford to replace the system or the valve with a Clack or Fleck at this time.

Does anyone know where to get new or used Q valve parts. I need a tab spring and in reading H2Oman's posting, I should be replacing the two tabs themselves. I can get the o-rings from a local supply house and I have the aptitude to rebuild the valve.

Any advice on how to pull the valve body out without damaging it. I imagine it could be bound up with sediment.

Thanks for any help,

Carey

No they can't.

RainSoft ended factory support of the brass valve a few years ago.

@H2O MAN,

I get all the parts I need direct from Rainsoft. I guess it's that "authorized service provider" thing. Of course the timer mechs have been changed to digital boards, but the other parts are still available.

I'm impressed... you are the only one on this planet that can get obsolete parts from RainSoft.
Why don't you set me up with a gross of index levers, piston & injector O rings and shut of tabs...

@H2O MAN,

as mentioned, timer mechs are obsolete, including index levers, they now have a converion kit to digital. all the other parts are still available. per my contract with Rainsoft, I can't sell parts to an unauthorized service tech.

@Joethewaterguy,

The Q valves are also obsolete and you can't sell what you can't buy no matter what your contract says.

@H2O MAN,

I really don't want to argue with you. Obviously you have a bug up somewhere. I started looking on here to see if I could help people out with Rainsoft and the problems they are having. You are right in saying that the brass valves are obsolete, but, here's the but, if a customer of mine is the original buyer of the system, and the brass valve is defective, I can get a new one shipped today from Rainsoft.

I will argue that your claim is untrue.

@H2O MAN,

argue all you want, I'm not here to argue, just try to help, before I posted the message about getting a new valve body, I called Rainsoft to verify that I could get one. Don't tell me that I'm the one that's being untrue to these people asking for help
