{"product_id":"fleck-ss-impeller-shaft","title":"Fleck SS Impeller Shaft","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis Fleck Stainless Steel Impeller Shaft (FL15432) is a genuine Pentair component that supports the meter impeller in a Fleck flow-metering assembly. The shaft serves as the spindle on which the impeller turbine spins freely as water passes through the meter, allowing the valve to measure usage for demand-initiated regeneration. Smooth, true rotation of the impeller is essential to accurate metering, and the shaft is what makes that possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine Fleck stainless steel impeller shaft\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupports the spinning meter impeller turbine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStainless construction resists corrosion and wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaintains accurate flow measurement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM replacement for worn or pitted shafts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps friction low for free, consistent rotation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eAccuracy in a metered softener depends on the impeller turning smoothly and consistently in proportion to flow. The stainless steel shaft is chosen for its corrosion resistance and dimensional stability in constant contact with water, which keeps friction low and rotation true over years of continuous service. Unlike materials that can corrode or swell, stainless holds its precise dimensions, so the impeller continues to spin freely rather than binding or wobbling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA worn, grooved, or corroded shaft can let the impeller wobble, drag, or read inconsistently, which skews the usage count and throws off regeneration timing. The valve might then regenerate too often, wasting salt and water, or not often enough, allowing hard water to slip through to the home. Because the change can be gradual, a failing shaft is sometimes overlooked when troubleshooting metering problems.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDemand-initiated regeneration is one of the biggest efficiency advantages of metered Fleck valves, recharging the resin only when actual consumption calls for it and minimizing waste. Keeping the metering hardware in good condition protects that efficiency. Replacing a tired impeller shaft with this genuine stainless part restores free, accurate impeller rotation and dependable flow sensing, returning the system to precise, usage-based operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor technicians maintaining metered Fleck systems, the impeller shaft is a small part that is well worth inspecting whenever the meter is open, since a worn shaft is easy to overlook yet directly affects accuracy. Replacing it preemptively with a genuine stainless part during a meter cleaning keeps the turbine spinning freely for years and protects the efficiency that makes demand-initiated regeneration so attractive to cost-conscious homeowners.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pentair","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45668804558901,"sku":"FL15432","price":46.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0552\/4950\/2261\/files\/fl15432.jpg?v=1782533868","url":"https:\/\/watersoftenerplus.com\/de-eu\/products\/fleck-ss-impeller-shaft","provider":"Water Softener Plus","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
