How It Works
The FL13847 O-Ring serves as a critical sealing element within the Fleck valve’s motor cover assembly. It fits snugly around the motor cover, creating a watertight barrier that prevents leaks and contamination. This seal is essential for maintaining the internal pressure and protecting the valve’s mechanical and electronic components from moisture and debris.
By ensuring a proper seal, the O-Ring allows the valve to function smoothly, controlling water flow and regeneration cycles effectively. Without a reliable O-Ring, your system risks leaks that can compromise softener efficiency and lead to costly repairs.
What to Expect
Immediately after installing the FL13847 O-Ring, you’ll notice a secure fit that eliminates any previous leaks or moisture buildup around the motor cover. This improves the overall reliability of your water softener’s valve. Within the first few days and weeks, your system should operate without interruptions caused by seal failures, maintaining consistent water quality.
Over the longer term, this O-Ring contributes to the valve’s durability by preventing wear from water exposure and contaminants. Routine inspection and replacement as part of scheduled maintenance will keep your system performing at peak efficiency.
