How It Works
This electronic timer valve acts as the central control unit for your water softener’s valve operation. It automates the scheduling of regeneration cycles, which flush out minerals like calcium and magnesium that cause hardness. By controlling when and how long the valve opens, it manages the flow of water through the softening media, ensuring optimal performance.
Installed in place of traditional mechanical timer valves, the electronic design provides enhanced accuracy and flexibility. It communicates with the softener system to initiate regeneration based on preset intervals or water usage, depending on your system configuration.
What to Expect
Once installed, you will notice your water softener operating with minimal manual adjustments, thanks to the electronic timer’s precise cycle control. During the first few days, the system will complete scheduled regenerations efficiently, using water and salt effectively to maintain softened water quality.
Over time, the FL56/16-SXT-0.0 ensures consistent regeneration timing, reducing wear on your water softener components and lowering maintenance frequency. Its durable build helps maintain system performance in the long term, providing peace of mind with reliable operation.
