How It Works
The FL11183 Fleck Seal O-Ring functions as a critical sealing component within the Fleck valve assembly of your water softener system. It fits snugly between valve parts, creating a watertight barrier that prevents leaks and pressure drops during the water regeneration and softening cycles.
By maintaining a proper seal, this O-ring ensures that water flows through the system as intended, avoiding bypass or inefficiency issues that can lead to poor water quality or increased salt and water usage.
What to Expect
Immediately after installation, you will notice a secure fit that eliminates any dripping or leaks around the valve area. In the first few days, the O-ring will settle into place, providing a reliable seal under varying water pressures.
Over the longer term, this Fleck valve part delivers consistent performance without frequent need for replacement. Its durable material resists wear, ensuring your water softener operates smoothly with minimal maintenance.
