Discontinued-See Extended Desc.

This Fleck retainer for the brine line flow control button is a discontinued individual part from Pentair, now supplied within a service kit. The retainer holds the brine line flow control button securely in place, ensuring the metering element stays properly seated during regeneration. Small as it is, this retainer is essential to keeping brine flow accurate and your softener regenerating efficiently, since a flow-control button that shifts out of position cannot meter brine reliably.

The brine line flow control button governs the rate of brine flow during the brine-draw and slow-rinse stages of the cycle, and the retainer keeps that button correctly positioned so it can meter flow consistently every time. If the button shifts or works loose because the retainer is missing, broken, or worn, brine flow can become inconsistent, which in turn affects salt efficiency and the overall quality of each regeneration. A secure, intact retainer keeps the entire flow-control assembly stable, properly aligned, and dependable.

Sourcing the Replacement

To replace this retainer, order the listed service kit, which includes the part alongside related flow-control components for a complete and convenient repair. Confirm your valve model before purchasing so the retainer and the button it holds both match your specific control head and brine line. Keeping the brine line flow control assembly intact and properly seated helps your softener regenerate thoroughly, use salt economically, and deliver consistently soft water throughout the home, while preventing the erratic brine draw that a loose or missing retainer can cause. Inspecting the retainer and button together during any brine-system service, and replacing both if either shows wear, is the surest way to keep brine metering precise and your softener performing at its rated salt efficiency over many years of regular use. For the cost of a single kit, you protect the efficiency of the entire softener, which makes this an easy and worthwhile part to renew whenever the brine line is opened up for inspection or cleaning.
