How It Works
The FL16077 Fleck O-Ring functions as a critical sealing component within the Fleck valve mechanism of your water softener system. It fits snugly into the designated groove, creating a watertight barrier that prevents leaks where different valve parts connect. By maintaining this seal, the O-ring ensures that water flows properly through the system without pressure loss or contamination.
Its flexible yet resilient material accommodates slight movements and pressure changes within the valve, maintaining an effective seal over time and under varying operating conditions. This small but vital part helps your water softener maintain optimal performance and reliability.
What to Expect
After installing the FL16077 Fleck O-Ring, you will immediately notice improved sealing that prevents water seepage around your valve components. In the first days and weeks, the O-ring settles into place, ensuring a consistent, leak-free connection even under fluctuating water pressures.
Over the longer term, this O-ring supports durable system operation, reducing the need for frequent maintenance or emergency repairs. Regular inspection during routine service will help you monitor its condition and replace it proactively to maintain peak water softening performance.
