    Alamo water softener system

    I called River City Water for parts. They asked me to check the pistons first. I used a plier to try to push and pull it. None of the pistons moved. I tried to reconnect the pistons to the gears. Only the top one fitted. The lower piston had probably been jammed, and when I removed it from the...

    On top of the device connected to the top black gear, there is a switch with a broken shell. From the picture of img707, I can see the inside of the switch. Could this be the cause of the problem?

To the right of the red...

    I took quite a few photos, but I cannot attach them with this message. I keep getting this message: upload of file failed. How can I attach photo? I will check the counter down dial and see if it has moved or not next time I go to the car wash.

    I looked into the control box on top of the resin tank and saw a round grey color looking device behind the dial panel. Is that the motor? If it is, I think I can replace it myself. I just need to know where to buy the part. Also, the instruction on the panel says the cable must be removed...
