Important Compatibility Note

This is the large 1" high-flow cam and gear. It should not be confused with the smaller cam used on 3/4" or smaller valve systems. The large 7283489 version is approximately 2-5/8" in diameter, while the smaller versions are approximately 2-1/4".

Before ordering, compare your existing part number and cam size to ensure you have the correct version.

When Should You Replace the Cam & Gear?

A worn cam or gear may cause:

• Valve cycles to stop or fail to advance
• Regeneration problems
• The motor to run without properly moving the valve
• Grinding or unusual noises
• Broken, worn, or sharp gear teeth
• The softener becoming stuck in one cycle

Replacing the cam and gear can restore proper mechanical operation without replacing the entire control valve.

Why Choose the 7283489 Cam & Gear?

The 7283489 Cam & Gear is a practical replacement for worn components in compatible 1" high-flow water softeners. Replacing the cam and gear can help restore reliable regeneration and extend the useful life of the existing control valve.
