How It Works
This Fleck O-Ring functions as a critical sealing component within the Fleck valve assembly of your water softener system. It creates a secure barrier between moving parts, preventing water from leaking out or bypassing essential channels. By maintaining proper pressure and flow control, it ensures your water softening process operates smoothly and efficiently.
Made from durable elastomeric material, it adapts to the valve’s shape, compensating for minor imperfections or wear. This flexibility keeps the valve components tightly sealed, reducing the chance of malfunction or system downtime.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice immediate improvements in valve integrity with no leaks or drips around the sealed areas. Within the first few days, your water softener should maintain consistent pressure and flow without interruption.
Over time, the O-ring’s durability ensures long-term reliability, minimizing the need for frequent replacements. Routine checks during system maintenance will help confirm it remains in good condition, supporting optimal water treatment performance.
