General Ionics Valve or Tank Replacement

The General Ionics valve and tank are proprietary in design.
Many key parts of the valve ( like main piston and seal kit ) are proprietary, and available only from a General Ionics dealer. NOTE: Their new name is Puronics.
The tank will not accept any "standard" valve.
The Ionics tank has smaller opening and finer thread, and will ONLY work with another General Ionics valve.
Our recommendation is: Purchase a New TANK, and a new VALVE ( any Fleck ) and you can re-use the media ( resin ) and the Brine Tank from the old Ionics system.

Sorry we can not provide repair parts you might need for this valve.
It shares a few parts with standard Fleck Valves, but all the "key" parts are proprietary in design, to force you to use Ionics Dealer for all Service.
