How It Works
The FL56M-PH Fleck 5600 Power Head operates as the central control valve in your water softener system. It manages the timing and flow of water through the resin tank during softening and regeneration cycles by utilizing a motor-driven mechanism. This motor standard backplate ensures precise valve positioning, allowing the system to automatically flush out hardness minerals and regenerate the resin bed without manual intervention.
By accurately controlling these cycles, the power head optimizes salt and water usage while extending the lifespan of your water softener components.
