How It Works
The FL12763 stuffer acts as a critical internal component within the Fleck 5600 and 9000 control valves. It helps fill gaps and provide a tight seal inside the valve body, allowing for precise control over water flow during regeneration cycles. By ensuring proper alignment and cushioning of valve parts, it minimizes friction and wear, which are common causes of valve malfunction.
This stuffer supports the valve’s moving components to maintain smooth operation, which is essential for achieving consistent water softening and preventing system leaks or failures.
What to Expect
Once installed, you will notice improved valve responsiveness and quieter operation immediately. In the first days and weeks, your water softener should run more smoothly with fewer interruptions or error cycles. Over time, this stuffer reduces the need for frequent repairs or replacements of costly valve parts, providing long-term reliability.
Regular inspection and maintenance will ensure optimal performance, but the FL12763 stuffer is built to endure typical wear conditions within water treatment setups, helping your system maintain peak efficiency with minimal hassle.
