Frequently Asked Questions
Fleck 5600
control valve with meter based regeneration for replacing or upgrading the current valve on most water softening systems.
Metered
"On-Demand" regeneration reduces water and salt consumption. It also ensures you are never without treated water!
Standard
size mounting base has 2-1/2" - 8 NPSM threads that fit most standard softening tanks. Simply unscrew your old head and screw the new one on!
Includes
transformer for connecting to standard 110v outlet as well as flow controls on the brine and drain lines. Some "bargain" control valves do not include these key components.
Note:
Please specify the size of tank being used when ordering to ensure proper flow control sizing.
5-Year
manufacturers warranty ensures your new valve will function as it should, or it will be repaired or replaced. Backed by Fleck, you can rest assured there will always be someone there if you ever need them.
Simple
installation makes replacing your existing head quick and easy! Available yoke connection is simple and cost effective for homes with a bypass loop in place, and available bypass valve connects right to the system making future service and maintenance as simple as turning a valve.
Service Manual
- Complete service manual is included with every system and shows basic installation and setup instructions, as well service guidelines and parts schematics. Comprehensive instructions available on our website for detailed installation and setup instructions.
NOTE:
This valve DOES NOT include a bypass or yoke connection. If replacing an existing Fleck 5600 or 2510 series valve your existing bypass or yoke can be used. If replacing any other control valve a yoke or bypass will need to be purchased separately.
Q. What control head do I need?
A.
Control heads come in 2 common styles, filter valves and softener valves. Filter valves are used on systems that do not require any chemicals or additives in the backwash cycle and include systems such as carbon tanks and pH neutralizers. Softener valves are used on systems that draw in a chemical or brine solution to rejuvenate the media such as water softeners. Please ensure you are purchasing the correct valve for your system type.
Q. What are the differences in the Fleck models 5600, 5600SXT and 7000 control heads?
A.
The
Fleck 5600
is your basic mechanical control valve. It does it's job in the most cost effective way possible. It is a metered head so it measures how much water you go through and regenerates based water usage. Due to the mechanical limitations on the head it can only be set to 2100 gallons, at that point it has to regenerate, so some efficiency can be lost depending on the system size and your water hardness. This head is ideal if you are looking for the lowest cost option.
The
Fleck 5600SXT
works similar to the standard 5600 but uses a digital interface instead of a mechanical one. This makes setup easier, and with the digital control it can be set to go through up to 9,999 gallons of water between regenerations. The 5600SXT can be more efficient that the 5600 because of this, especially in larger homes with lower hardness levels. The other advantage the 5600SXT has is adjustable regeneration cycles, while in most cases these settings won't need to be adjusted, with the 5600SXT the option is there should you ever need it.
The
Fleck 7000
uses controls similar to the 5600SXT, so it is also in that it is a digital head with backlit LCD display, can be set up to 9,999 gallons, and has adjustable regeneration cycles. The 7000 control is designed as a high flow head, capable of flow rates up to 35gpm, as compared to the 20gpm of the 5600 & 5600SXT models, so it offers minimal flow reduction in larger homes. Finally, it is a modular design, simply remove the retaining screw and the main components slide apart, making any required maintenance or cleaning a breeze!
