Injector is not clicking

Dosmatic has deemed October...Troubleshooting month. Each week we will post a different scenario and provide you the information necessary to repair your injector and get you back up and running!

If your injector is not clicking the following are some simple items you can check on your injector.
1.Check that the red plugs are removed.
2.Be sure water flow is in the direction of the arrow on the body of the injector.
3.Be sure the operating pressure is not exceeding the models maximum pressure allowance.
4.Check the lower end to make sure your #17(see manual for location) O-ring is not leaking.
You can also check that your main piston assembly is not worn, if you have wear in this location we recommend you place a minimum of 104 micron inline filter prior to the injector. In addition to these items you may need to also check the cover or main body for wear. This to will need to be replaced and will be eliminated with the use of an inline filter. Finally if you do not find fault in any of these locations check your upper and lower poppets, be sure they are seated on the poppet arms and are not damaged. If you find these poppets are not seated and/or are damaged replace all poppet assemblies.

Come back next week for more troubleshooting tips.
