Cleaning Procedures

Listed below are the cleaning procedures for the actuator valve, air inducer and flush valve, the main components of the PF/2 Energizer. These maintenance procedures will help ensure proper water and air flow into the unit. Performing these procedures may correct certain problems with the unit, or reveal the source of the problem.

Component

Procedures

1. Turn off the water supply to the toilet, then flush the toilet. This will depressurize the PF2 unit.
2. Disconnect the chain (Eljer toilet) or rod (Crane toilet) from the white linkage arm in the tank. The arm is located in front of the actuator valve.
3. Surrounding the plunger button of the actuator valve is a six-sided nut. Loosen and remove the nut to bring out the actuator valve. It should all come out in one piece.
4. On the end of the valve is a floppy metal pin. Ensure the pin is free of any calcium, lime or rust.
5. Cover the hole that the valve was removed from with your hand or a rag, to deflect water down into the tank. Turn on the water supply fully for 10-15 seconds to flush out the port.
6. Turn off the water supply, then reinstall the actuator valve to the unit and tighten snugly. Reconnect the chain or rod to the linkage arm.

1. Turn off the water supply to the toilet and flush the toilet. This will depressurize the PF2 unit.
2. Between the two domes of the tank is a small round cap with a hole in the center. Loosen and remove the air inducer cap from the body.
3. Inside the cap is a small o-ring. Ensure that the o-ring is present and free of any water scale.
4. Underneath the cap is a ball sitting in the cup end of a spool. Do not lose the ball. Grab the spool and pop it out of the body.
5. Roll the ball between your fingers to clean it and remove any water scale or debris.
6. Ensure that the cup of the spool is clean. Blow through the bore of the spool to ensure it is clear.
7. Turn on the water supply and bubble some water through the port to flush it out.
8. Reinstall the spool to the body. Push it down until it seats. One o-ring will be showing.
9. Place the ball into the cup of the spool, then reinstall the cap to the body and snug it down.

1. Turn off the water supply to the toilet and flush the toilet. This will depressurize the PF2 unit.
2. Remove the seven screws securing the cap and supply to the tank body and set the cap aside.
3. In the tank bore under the cap is the flush valve. Pull the valve straight up and out. It looks like a piston with a cup on the end of it.
4. There is a seal around the middle of the valve, and an o-ring on the pointed end. Ensure that the seal and o-ring are free of any debris or mineral scale.
5. Inspect the walls and bottom sealing surface of the tank bore for any debris or mineral scale. Clean the bore as necessary.
6. Apply a film of dishwashing liquid to the center seal of the flush valve, then reinstall the flush valve in the tank bore. Push the valve fully down until it seats in the tank.
7. Fill the cup on the end of the valve with water. This will help the unit recharge faster.
8. Replace the seal on the tank flange. The notch in the seal faces you, at the six o’clock position. All nine holes in the tank flange must be showing through the gasket.
9. Reinstall the cap to the tank body and secure with the seven screws. Tighten the screws in a crossing pattern to ensure the seal seats evenly.
