How It Works
The CTJ38985 valve spring plays a critical role in the operation of chemical feed pumps by controlling the opening and closing of the pump’s valve assembly. When the pump cycles, this spring provides the necessary tension to return the valve to its default position, ensuring precise chemical flow regulation. This reliable action prevents backflow and leakage, which are common issues in water treatment systems.
By maintaining consistent valve pressure, the spring helps the pump deliver exact chemical doses needed for effective water softening or treatment, contributing to overall system stability and performance.
What to Expect
After installing the CTJ38985 Chem-Tech valve spring, you will notice improved smoothness in your chemical feed pump’s operation immediately. The valve will respond more consistently to pump cycles, resulting in more accurate chemical dosing right from the start.
Over the first few weeks, the spring will settle into your system, providing dependable performance without the typical fluctuations or need for frequent adjustments. Long term, this component reduces wear on other pump parts, helping you avoid premature failures and minimizing maintenance needs.
