How It Works

The FL12974-3 PVC Throat serves as a critical passage within the Fleck No. 3 valve assembly, directing water flow precisely through the softener’s control valve. Its robust PVC design withstands the pressures and chemical exposure typical in water treatment systems, preventing leaks and wear. By maintaining a secure and corrosion-resistant pathway, this throat piece ensures the valve can regulate water regeneration cycles accurately and efficiently.

Without a properly functioning throat, water softeners may experience flow disruptions or valve malfunctions that degrade softening performance. This replacement part restores the valve’s intended flow dynamics, enabling your system to deliver consistently softened water.

What to Expect

After installing the FL12974-3 Fleck No. 3 PVC Throat, you’ll notice smoother valve operation and stable water pressure through your softener. In the first days, your system should resume normal regeneration cycles without any irregularities or leaks. Over the following weeks, the durable PVC material will resist sediment buildup and corrosion, minimizing maintenance needs.

Long-term, this throat piece supports reliable valve functionality and extends the overall lifespan of your water softener. Routine checks are recommended to ensure the valve remains clean and free of debris, but this component significantly reduces the risk of premature wear.
