How It Works
The FL42579 24V Drive Motor powers the Fleck 2900 valve, which regulates the flow of water through your softener system during regeneration and service cycles. By rotating the valve’s internal components at precise intervals, this motor ensures the resin bed is properly flushed and recharged with salt, allowing for effective removal of hardness minerals. Its 24V design provides steady torque and reliable operation, critical for maintaining smooth valve movement and preventing system interruptions.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice your water softener operates with improved consistency and fewer errors related to valve positioning. In the initial days, the motor will seamlessly manage regeneration sequences without stalling or misalignment. Over time, this component’s robust build and efficient design minimize maintenance needs, helping you avoid unexpected repairs and ensuring your water softening system delivers softened water reliably every day.
