How It Works
This valve component acts as a critical control point within your water softener system. It regulates the flow of water through the softening media, ensuring that hard minerals are effectively removed during the regeneration cycle. By precisely controlling water passage, the valve maintains system pressure and timing, which is essential for consistent soft water output.
Replacing a worn or discontinued valve like the FL12974-1 with the FL12974-2 ensures your system’s internal mechanisms continue to function as designed, preventing leaks and operational disruptions.
What to Expect
Once installed, you will notice your water softener regaining its full efficiency, with smooth valve operation and reliable regeneration cycles. Within the first few days of use, the system should deliver softened water consistently without pressure drops or irregular flow.
Over the longer term, this valve replacement contributes to reduced maintenance needs by minimizing wear on other system components. Regular inspection is recommended to maintain optimal performance, but the durable construction helps ensure dependable operation for years to come.
