How It Works
The FL56LM-PH power head functions as the central control mechanism in your water softener’s valve assembly. It regulates the timing and operation of the regeneration cycles by controlling water flow through the system’s resin tank. The motor-driven backplate ensures smooth, consistent movement of the valve components, allowing your system to efficiently remove hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply.
By automating these processes, the power head helps maintain optimal water softening performance, reducing wear on the system and improving overall water quality.
What to Expect
After installing the FL56LM-PH power head, you’ll notice your water softener operates more reliably with precise regeneration cycles tailored to your water usage. In the first few days to weeks, expect smoother valve operation and consistent softened water output.
Over time, the durable motor and backplate reduce the need for frequent repairs or replacement parts, offering long-term reliability that helps you avoid costly system downtime and ensures your water treatment setup continues running efficiently.
What’s Inside
- Motor L Backplate – Provides the mechanical drive for valve movement, ensuring accurate and consistent operation
