Hello,
I own a Kinetico Mach 2060s which is leaking water from the pressure relife valve. The water is not leaking through the drain hose, but from the valve seal itself...where it connects into the housing.

I never worked on a water softener myself and have very little knowlege how water seals work, but I would like to repair this leak myself. I looked online but Kinetico has little information regarding replacement parts or repair manuals.

How do I remove the valve from the housing? Do I need a special tool?
Should I repalce the valve with a new part or is it a simple matter of cleaning/greasing the part with silicone, then reinstalling?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
