Reliable Fleck Control Valve for Enhanced Water Softener Performance
The FL56/16-0.0 Fleck 5600/1600 TMR Valve (560001-003-72) offers a dependable upgrade for your water softener system. Designed to improve control and efficiency, this valve provides precise regeneration timing and consistent flow management. If you're seeking a trustworthy Fleck control valve that seamlessly integrates with your water treatment setup, this model ensures optimal performance without the complexity of a DLFC (demand-initiated flow control).
Key Benefits
- Enhances system reliability by delivering consistent valve operation without DLFC complications
- Improves water softening efficiency through precise regeneration timing control
- Durable construction ensures long-lasting performance under varying water conditions
- Compatible with Fleck 5600 and 1600 series softeners, simplifying maintenance and replacement
- Reduces downtime by facilitating easier troubleshooting and valve servicing
How It Works
This Fleck 5600/1600 TMR valve acts as the control center for your water softener’s regeneration cycle. It manages the flow of water through the softening media and initiates regeneration at preset intervals, ensuring softened water delivery without interruption. By omitting the DLFC feature, the valve focuses on timer-based control, making it ideal for systems where flow demand sensing is either unnecessary or handled separately.
Inside the valve, a series of internal ports and seals regulate water direction during service and regeneration phases, maintaining efficient softening and backwash cycles to keep your system operating smoothly.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice your water softener maintaining consistent water quality with minimal fluctuations. In the first few days, the valve’s timer-based regeneration ensures your resin bed remains refreshed and effective. Over time, this valve’s robust design helps reduce the need for frequent adjustments or repairs, promoting steady system performance and easier maintenance routines.
What’s Inside
- Polymer valve body – Provides corrosion resistance and durability for extended service life
- Precision timer mechanism – Controls regeneration cycles accurately to optimize softening efficiency
- Internal seals and diaphragms – Ensure leak-free operation and smooth water flow control
- Mounting flange – Facilitates secure and straightforward installation on compatible Fleck softener tanks
How to Use
- Turn off the water supply and depressurize your water softener system before installation.
- Remove the existing control valve from your Fleck 5600 or 1600 softener tank carefully.
