How It Works

This Fleck valve part functions as a critical component within your water softener’s control valve assembly. It regulates the flow of water through the softening system, directing hard water through resin beds and managing regeneration cycles. By precisely controlling these pathways, it ensures that softened water is delivered efficiently to your household or commercial plumbing.

Replacing an outdated or worn valve part like the FL12973-1 with the improved FL12973-2 restores the valve’s ability to maintain proper pressure and flow balance, which are essential for effective ion exchange and system regeneration.

After installing the FL12973-2 valve part, you will notice immediate improvement in your water softener’s operation. The system will cycle smoothly, minimizing unusual noises or erratic valve movements common with aging components. Within the first few days, expect more consistent water softness and reduced risk of leaks.

Over the longer term, this replacement part supports stable system performance and reduces maintenance needs by resisting wear and corrosion. Regular monitoring ensures your water softener continues to function reliably with minimal intervention.
