When it comes to maintaining your water softener’s efficiency, a reliable by-pass seal is essential. The FL14105 Fleck By-Pass Seal 5600 is designed to prevent leaks and ensure smooth operation of your Fleck valve system. This durable Fleck valve part addresses common issues like water bypass leaks and seal wear, offering a dependable solution for your water treatment setup.
Key Benefits
- Prevents water leakage to protect your softener and surrounding areas
- Extends the lifespan of your Fleck valve by maintaining proper seal integrity
- Ensures efficient water flow control for consistent softening performance
- Easy to install, reducing downtime during maintenance
- Compatible with Fleck 5600 series valves for a perfect fit
- Made from high-quality materials to withstand pressure and wear
How It Works
The FL14105 by-pass seal fits snugly within the Fleck 5600 valve assembly, creating a watertight barrier where water bypasses the softening media. This seal prevents any unintended water flow that can compromise softening efficiency or cause leakage outside the system. By maintaining a tight seal, it helps the valve accurately direct water through the regeneration and service cycles of your water softener.
This component plays a crucial role in the valve’s mechanical operation by ensuring smooth transitions between water paths inside the softener, reducing wear on other parts and maintaining optimal system pressure.
What to Expect
Immediately after installation, you’ll notice a secure fit that eliminates common leaks around the by-pass valve area. In the first few days, your water softener should operate quietly and efficiently, with no signs of water escaping or pressure loss.
Over the longer term, the FL14105 seal maintains its integrity under normal operating conditions, requiring minimal maintenance. Regular inspection during routine softener servicing will ensure it continues to perform reliably, protecting your system from costly damage and downtime.
