FL60020-100, Fleck Brine Line Flow Control, 1gpm, 60020-100

Optimize Your Water Softener’s Performance with the FL60020-100 Fleck Brine Line Flow Control

The FL60020-100 Fleck Brine Line Flow Control is designed to provide precise regulation of brine flow in water softener systems, ensuring efficient salt usage and consistent regeneration cycles. Unlike generic flow controls, this Fleck valve part offers reliable 1gpm flow management that enhances system longevity and reduces maintenance needs. If you’re looking for a trusted solution to optimize your water treatment setup, this component delivers dependable performance every time.

Key Benefits

• Ensures consistent brine flow for optimal water softening results
• Reduces salt waste by precisely controlling regeneration cycles
• Enhances system efficiency, lowering long-term operating costs
• Durable design withstands typical water softener operating conditions
• Easy to install as a direct replacement for Fleck valve parts
• Helps maintain balanced water chemistry for household protection

How It Works

The FL60020-100 functions as a flow control valve installed in the brine line of your water softener system. During the regeneration phase, it regulates the rate at which brine solution flows from the brine tank into the resin tank. By maintaining a steady 1 gallon per minute flow, it ensures that the resin beads are properly recharged with salt ions, preventing under- or over-salting.

This precise control supports efficient ion exchange, which is central to the water softening process. Without it, inconsistent brine flow can lead to poor softening performance and increased salt consumption.

What to Expect

After installing the FL60020-100, you’ll immediately notice improved stability in your water softener’s regeneration cycles. In the short term, this results in more consistent softened water output and fewer fluctuations in water hardness. Over the first few weeks, you may also observe a reduction in salt usage as the flow control optimizes the brine dosage.

Long-term, this component contributes to extended system reliability by preventing brine line blockages and reducing wear on related valve components. Routine checks are minimal, typically requiring only occasional inspection during regular softener maintenance.

What’s Inside

• Precision Flow Control Valve – regulates brine flow at a steady 1gpm for consistent regeneration
• Durable Polypropylene Housing – resists corrosion and withstands chemical exposure in brine solutions
• Sealing Gaskets – ensure leak-free operation within the water softener’s brine line
• Integrated Flow Restrictor – maintains accurate flow rates tailored to Fleck valve systems

How to Use

1. Turn off the water supply and bypass the water softener system.
2. Locate the brine line and carefully disconnect the existing flow control valve.
3. Install the FL60020-100, ensuring proper orientation matching the flow direction indicated on the valve.
4. Reconnect the brine line securely, checking for tight fittings to prevent leaks.
5. Turn the water supply back on and remove the bypass to resume softener operation.
6. Run a manual regeneration cycle to verify proper flow and system function.
