How It Works
This Fleck 5600 electric backwash filter operates as part of your water softener or filtration system by controlling the backwash process electronically. When the filter detects the need for cleaning, the control valve initiates a backwash cycle, flushing out trapped sediments and contaminants. This automated cycle ensures the filter media remains clean and effective without requiring manual intervention.
Installed inline with your water system, the FL56F-SXT-0.0 maintains optimal flow rates and filtration efficiency by periodically reversing water flow. This process removes debris that can clog the filter media, helping to sustain water quality and system performance over time.
What to Expect
Upon installation, you’ll notice smoother water flow and improved clarity as the filter begins its automated backwash cycles. In the initial weeks, the system may run slightly more frequently as it clears accumulated sediments, but this will stabilize quickly. Over the long term, expect reduced maintenance needs and fewer service interruptions due to clogged filters.
The durable design of the Fleck 5600 backwash filter ensures consistent performance with minimal upkeep. Routine checks and infrequent media replacement will keep your water treatment system running efficiently for years.
