How It Works

The Fleck 5800 SXT Meter Softener Valve regulates the regeneration cycle of your water softener by measuring water flow through its internal meter. As water flows through the system, the valve tracks usage and initiates regeneration only when necessary. This smart control ensures that your softener efficiently removes hardness minerals without wasting resources.

By automating the timing of backwash and recharge cycles, the valve maintains optimal resin bed performance, protecting your home’s plumbing and appliances from scale buildup over time.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll notice your water softener operates more precisely, with regeneration cycles matching your household’s actual water consumption. In the first days and weeks, this leads to improved salt efficiency and consistent soft water output. Over time, the valve’s robust design helps reduce downtime and maintenance, providing dependable performance that supports your water treatment system’s longevity.

While routine checks are recommended, this valve’s meter-driven logic reduces unnecessary regenerations, saving you time and resources without compromising water quality.
