FL12097 Fleck BLFC Button 1 GPM – Ensure Precise Water Flow Control for Optimal Softener Performance
When it comes to maintaining your water softener system, having reliable valve parts is essential for consistent operation. The FL12097 Fleck BLFC Button 1 GPM is designed to deliver precise flow regulation, helping you avoid common issues like pressure drops or uneven water softening. As a trusted Fleck valve part, this component ensures your water treatment setup runs efficiently and smoothly.
Key Benefits
- Maintains accurate 1 GPM flow rate to optimize softening efficiency
- Enhances the longevity of your water softener by preventing overflows and pressure inconsistencies
- Easy to install replacement part that fits seamlessly within Fleck valve assemblies
- Constructed from durable materials to withstand prolonged use and water exposure
- Supports consistent water quality by stabilizing flow within your system
How It Works
The FL12097 button serves as a flow-limiting component within Fleck valve assemblies, regulating water passing through the system at a steady rate of 1 gallon per minute. By controlling this flow precisely, it helps maintain balanced pressure and efficient regeneration cycles in your water softener. This regulation prevents issues like channeling or uneven salt usage, contributing to cleaner, softer water.
Installed directly into the valve mechanism, the button acts as a physical barrier that restricts excessive flow, ensuring your system treats water consistently without overburdening internal components.
What to Expect
Upon installing the FL12097 Fleck BLFC Button, you will quickly notice improved water flow stability through your softener system. In the first days and weeks, your water softener’s regeneration cycles will become more efficient, reducing salt waste and maintaining steady water softness. Over time, the durable construction of this valve part ensures minimal maintenance, allowing your system to operate reliably without frequent part replacements.
Regular inspection is recommended to ensure the button remains free from debris, but overall, it provides a hassle-free solution to flow control within your water treatment setup.
