Fleck Comm Brine Valve, 2.0

The Fleck Commercial Brine Valve 2.0 (FL60034-2) is a heavy-duty brine valve assembly built for the larger salt tanks used in commercial water softening. The brine valve controls the draw of saturated brine into the control valve during regeneration and meters the refill of water afterward, both of which are essential to consistent, efficient operation on systems that cycle frequently and handle significant volumes.

Please note this version has been discontinued and is replaced by FL60034-20. Order under the current number to receive the supported commercial brine valve and ensure correct fit and function in your system.

About commercial brine valves

• 2.0-size commercial brine valve assembly
• Controls brine draw and meters refill during regeneration
• Sized for the larger tanks of commercial softening systems
• Genuine Pentair Fleck component, about 1.1 lbs
• Discontinued; current replacement is FL60034-20
• Includes the float-actuated safety shutoff for the salt tank

In a commercial system, the brine valve handles greater volumes and far more frequent cycling than a residential unit, so a reliable, correctly sized valve is critical to keeping the resin bed properly recharged and the facility supplied with conditioned water. The valve's float mechanism also provides an important safety function, shutting off refill at the correct level to help prevent overfilling and flooding of the salt tank, which on a large commercial brine tank could create a significant mess and downtime.

A worn or stuck brine valve can cause weak regeneration, salt-tank overfilling, or an air check that fails to seal, any of which degrades water quality and wastes salt over the many cycles a commercial system runs. Because these valves see heavy duty, the float, seals, and check components eventually show wear, and replacing the assembly restores accurate brine handling.

Because FL60034-2 is discontinued, order the current FL60034-20 to obtain the supported part. When installing, set the float and air-check height per the system's specifications and confirm smooth float travel. Bypass the system and relieve pressure before servicing the brine tank components, and verify proper draw and refill on the first regeneration after the repair. Confirming smooth draw and refill on the first regeneration after the swap gives you assurance that the new commercial brine valve is metering correctly, keeping the system efficient over the many cycles it will run.
