1. Shutting Off Water Supply
Begin by turning off the main water supply to avoid leaks or water damage during installation. Drain the existing system of water by opening faucets or valves downstream.
2. Disconnecting the Existing System
If replacing an old control head, disconnect the existing one from the resin tank and bypass plumbing connections cautiously. Remove any fittings that may interfere with the installation of the Fleck 5600 SXT Valve.
3. Attaching the Valve to the System
Place the Fleck 5600 SXT on top of the resin tank, ensuring it aligns with inlet and outlet fittings. Use the appropriate fittings to connect water lines securely, avoiding cross-threading or over-tightening, which can damage threads or the valve body. Check that the flow direction arrows on the valve match your system's water direction.
4. Connecting Bypass and Drain Lines
If your system includes a bypass valve, connect it to the appropriate ports on the control head for future maintenance flexibility. Attach drain lines to the designated drain ports, ensuring they lead to a proper drain location, and secure fittings to prevent leaks.
5. Restoring Water Supply and Checking for Leaks
Slowly turn the main water supply back on. Carefully inspect all connections, fittings, and the valve body for leaks. Tighten fittings if necessary, but avoid overtightening to prevent damage.
Initial Setup and Programming
6. Powering Up and Accessing the LCD Interface
Once the system is physically installed and leak checks are complete, power the control head if it's electrically operated. The LCD display will light up, showing the initial status or prompts for setup.
7. Basic Configuration
- Set the 'Date and Time': Access the settings menu to input current date and time, which are essential for scheduling regeneration cycles.
- Input Water Hardness: Enter your home's water hardness level, which guides the system on how much regeneration is needed.
- Set Regeneration Parameters: Customize regeneration frequency or water usage thresholds based on your household's water consumption patterns.
8. Testing Water Flow and System Operation
With settings configured, initiate a manual regeneration cycle to verify system operation. Observe the LCD for progress updates and ensure water flows through the system smoothly without leaks or unusual noises.
Optimizing and Maintaining the System
Regularly monitor the LCD display for system status updates and any notifications. Adjust settings as needed based on changes in water usage or household needs. Schedule periodic manual regenerations or rely on automatic metered cycles to maintain optimal water softness and system efficiency.
