Enhance Your Water Softener’s Efficiency with the Fleck 5600 SXT Powerhead Metered Control Valve

Designed to optimize water treatment systems, the FL56SXT-PH Fleck 5600 SXT Powerhead Metered control valve offers precise regeneration timing to conserve salt and water. Unlike traditional timers, this metered valve ensures your water softener regenerates only when necessary, delivering smarter, more efficient water softening. Trusted as a durable Fleck control valve accessory, it’s a reliable upgrade for any residential or commercial water softening setup.

Key Benefits

• Improves water softener efficiency by metering water usage accurately
• Reduces salt and water waste with demand-initiated regeneration
• Enhances system reliability with robust, corrosion-resistant construction
• Easy to program and compatible with Fleck 5600 SXT series softeners
• Extends equipment lifespan by preventing unnecessary regeneration cycles
• Supports consistent water quality by maintaining optimal flow control

How It Works

The FL56SXT-PH powerhead functions as the control valve that manages the regeneration cycle of your water softener. By monitoring water flow through a built-in meter, it triggers regeneration only when a preset volume of softened water has been used. This demand-driven approach means the system adapts to your household or business water consumption patterns, avoiding wasteful, timer-based cycles.

Inside your water treatment system, this valve directs water during the softening and regeneration phases, ensuring the resin bed is properly flushed and recharged. Its integration with Fleck’s 5600 SXT series allows for precise programming and dependable operation.

What to Expect

Immediately after installation, you’ll notice that your water softener begins to regenerate based on actual water usage rather than a fixed schedule. This adjustment leads to more efficient salt and water consumption from day one. Over the first few weeks, the system will fine-tune regeneration intervals to match your specific demand.

Long-term, the Fleck 5600 SXT powerhead is built to withstand frequent cycling without failure, minimizing maintenance needs. Routine checks are straightforward, and the metered control helps prolong the overall lifespan of your water softener system.
