Default Help installing water softener -yoke is missing

I brought a hydro-quad water softener from someone. As the plumber says
it is fine just that it is missing yoke. I called Hydro quad for the
part but they are looking for serial number. All I have is a model
number so they are not ready to help.
One of my friend told me that I have to have yoke from hydro-quad
company only.
Is that so? Can't I order 3/4" or 1" nylon yoke from some other company
and use if with this one?

Please guide me.

pandya,

If you look on the new water softener you should be able to find the
serial number. If you have the owner's manual the location of the serial
number may be described. It's also possible that there is a listing of parts
in the manual. Or you can phone the manufacturer and get the location of the
serial number of your softener. If this is difficult then the plumber can
locate the serial number.

David...if he had the manual or the serial number, he wouldn't be asking for
help here, now would he?

This appears to be some version of a Fleck valve used by many assemblers of
water softeners. The plastic yoke (3/4 or 1 inch) at the bottom of the
parts list at

http://softenerparts.zoovy.com/category/1100/

seems to be common to several of their models and may fit. At $9.95, it
might be worth a gamble if you can't get better information.
