{"product_id":"discontinued-fleck-7-day-skipper-wheel","title":"Discontinued - Fleck 7-Day Skipper Wheel","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Fleck 7-Day Skipper Wheel, part FL14860, is a genuine Pentair timing component used in mechanical Fleck control valves such as the 2510. The skipper wheel lets you program which days of a seven-day week the softener will regenerate, giving the valve a simple, reliable way to schedule recharge cycles without any electronics. The installer sets the wheel's pins or tabs to define a regeneration calendar, and the timer mechanism reads that pattern to decide when a recharge should occur.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part has been discontinued by Pentair. While supplies last, it serves as a direct replacement for the original wheel on compatible 2510-style timer assemblies. Because the entire weekly schedule depends on it, a cracked, worn, or mis-set skipper wheel can throw off regeneration timing and leave the resin either over- or under-regenerated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fleck 7-day skipper (calendar) wheel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSets the weekly regeneration day schedule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDesigned for Fleck 2510 mechanical timers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePurely mechanical programming, no electronics required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLightweight component, approximately 0.37 lb\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLets you skip days to conserve salt and water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eMechanical Fleck timers earned their lasting reputation for durability precisely because of straightforward parts like this. With no circuit boards to fail and no battery backup to manage, the skipper wheel offers a set-and-forget approach that many homeowners and installers still prefer. The wheel works alongside the time-of-day clock so the valve regenerates only on the chosen days, which conserves salt and water on lower-demand schedules and avoids needless cycling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIf your 2510 has stopped tracking days correctly, regenerates on the wrong days, or fails to skip the days you have programmed, a worn skipper wheel is a likely cause. Replacing it with this genuine part restores accurate, dependable weekly scheduling and returns the valve to the simple, reliable operation that makes the 2510 a longtime favorite.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor homeowners who appreciate the simplicity of a mechanical timer, keeping a spare skipper wheel reflects the same set-and-forget philosophy that made the 2510 popular in the first place. Because the part is purely mechanical, there is no firmware to update or battery to fail, and a replacement wheel restores the original scheduling behavior immediately. While supplies of this discontinued part last, it remains the straightforward way to keep an older but dependable 2510 softener regenerating exactly on the days you choose.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668803149877,"sku":"FL14860","price":37.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/fl14860.jpg?v=1782533798","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/de-eu\/products\/discontinued-fleck-7-day-skipper-wheel","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
