How It Works
The FL56/16F-0.0 timer valve controls the regeneration cycle of your water softener by managing the flow of water through the system at preset intervals. It regulates when and how long the softening process runs, ensuring hard minerals are effectively removed from your water supply.
This valve integrates into your water treatment setup by directing water through the resin tank during regeneration and backwashing stages, maintaining consistent water quality and reducing the risk of system overload or malfunction.
What to Expect
Once installed, you will notice improved consistency in softened water output as the valve precisely controls the regeneration timing. During the first days, the system may run through a few cycles to adjust to optimal settings, providing efficient softening without excess resource use.
Over the longer term, the FL56/16F-0.0 valve offers dependable performance with minimal maintenance required. Its robust construction ensures resistance to wear and tear, helping keep your water treatment system running smoothly for years.
