Howdy,
I have a really old GXSF39 in the house and have been pretty good at keeping it up and maintaining it. I have replaced the seal kit in it before and the verturi parts over time as they wore out. All the fixes seemed to do just fine.
Now I have a new problem, the drain line continually drips. Its a slow drip, but for winter, its not good because it freezes when it gets cold. The drip stops when I bypass. So I'm pretty sure its not the bypass.
I opened up the unit and went through the seals and they all seem to be fine. I examined them closely and they are all in good shape. I put a new batch of silicon grease on them just to keep them working well. However, the drip still persists.
In examining some of the threads here and on the net, as well as looking at the parts configuration, the only other thing I can think of is the rotor disk.
I wanted to get the experts' input on this before I buy as the rotor and seal kit which is about $82. I don't mind buying it if people think this should do it, otherwise that money is better spent on going towards replacing the water softener. I would rather spend $82 instead of $500.
Any thoughts of how to fix along with whether its worth it would be much appreciated! Thanks in advance!
