How It Works
The FL13030 distributor retainer functions as a critical holding component within the Fleck valve assembly of your water softener. It secures the distributor in place, ensuring that water flows correctly through the system’s resin bed during the softening and regeneration cycles. By maintaining a consistent position for the distributor, this retainer helps prevent leaks and mechanical failures that can disrupt water treatment performance.
Its precise fit within the valve housing stabilizes the movement of internal parts, contributing to smoother operation and fewer service interruptions. This ensures your water softener continues to deliver soft, conditioned water efficiently.

After installing the FL13030 retainer, you’ll notice improved system stability with no leaks or unusual noises from your Fleck valve. In the first days and weeks, the retainer helps maintain consistent water flow and pressure, supporting optimal resin bed regeneration. Over time, its durable construction reduces the need for frequent maintenance or part replacements, helping your water softener operate reliably with minimal hassle.
Regular system checks will confirm that the retainer remains securely in place, but its robust design means it typically requires little to no ongoing attention once installed.
