How It Works
The FL13830 functions as a critical component within the Fleck valve assembly, controlling the flow paths during water softener regeneration cycles. By precisely directing water through the resin tank and bypass lines, it ensures that hard water is effectively treated and that the softening media is properly regenerated. This part’s accurate fit and smooth operation minimize wear on other valve components, maintaining system reliability.
Installed inside the valve body, it works in concert with the control head to switch between service, backwash, and regeneration modes, allowing your water softener to run efficiently without leaks or flow interruptions.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice your water softener operating more smoothly with fewer cycle errors or delays. In the first few days, the system should maintain consistent water softness and regeneration timing without unexpected valve noises or malfunctions.
Long-term, this part helps reduce maintenance needs by preventing valve wear and tear, contributing to a stable, durable softening system that can serve your household or business reliably over time.
