My iron+H2S filter with a 5600sxt was put into service in late 2012, so 9 years. I decided to check the injector screen and injector.
I put the bypass valve into bypass, and triggered an immediate regen. It make a ticking sound for many seconds before the countdown timer on the display appeared. I then moved ahead to the BD cycle (which draws solution during each regen).
So my question is, how long does the piston normally take to mechanically move between cycles?
Edit: when I removed the throat, only part came out. The part I pulled had maybe 3/4 of a thread remaining. I may replace white throat. Nozzle looks good. Nozzle may have had some deposits. I was pulling about 90% as much solution during regen as I used to.
Injector screen had sediment solids for maybe 5/16 inch at one end. I should have noted which end that was, but I expect it was the blind (outer) end.
I am putting it back together after cleaning with Iron Out soaking, and I will see how it does.
Another update: I put it together. I slowly took it out of bypass to let things fill slowly. Then I did an immediate regeneration. It sucked the full measure of solution.
