How It Works
The FL60115-00 functions as a key component inside the Fleck water softener valve, where it controls the flow of water during the regeneration and service cycles. Positioned in the downflow path, this piston assembly moves precisely to open and close pathways that direct water through the resin tank and to drain as needed.
By maintaining a proper seal and smooth movement, the piston assembly ensures that the valve accurately switches between softening and regeneration modes, preventing cross-contamination and optimizing the system’s performance.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice your Fleck valve returning to reliable operation with fewer irregularities or leaks. The piston assembly supports smooth, quiet valve cycles from day one, improving the overall feel and efficiency of your water softener.
Over the coming weeks, expect consistent regeneration timing and reduced salt usage thanks to more precise valve control. With proper maintenance, this component will provide long-term durability, minimizing the need for frequent repairs or replacements.
