If you’re facing inconsistent regeneration cycles or inefficient salt usage, this valve ensures your water treatment operates smoothly and effectively.
Key Benefits
- Ensures consistent brine flow for optimal water softening and regeneration
- Improves salt efficiency, reducing waste and saving on operational costs
- Durable construction withstands typical system pressures and extends component lifespan
- Easy to install replacement part compatible with Fleck 1720 valve systems
- Supports smooth operation, minimizing system downtime and maintenance needs
- Compact design fits neatly into existing water softener setups without modification
How It Works
The Fleck 1720 Brine Valve controls the flow of brine solution from the salt tank into the resin tank during the regeneration cycle. By accurately regulating this flow at 2.0 GPM, it ensures the resin beads receive the correct amount of salt solution to remove hardness minerals from your water. This precise control prevents overuse or underuse of salt, maintaining the efficiency and longevity of your water softener.
During regeneration, the valve opens to allow the brine to pass through and then closes to prevent backflow, supporting a clean and effective cycle every time.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice your water softener system regenerates more consistently with improved brine flow control. Over the first few days, the system will optimize salt usage, leading to better water softness and fewer salt refills. Long-term, this valve helps maintain system integrity by reducing wear on other components, allowing for smoother operation and less frequent maintenance.
Regular inspection and occasional cleaning will keep the valve functioning properly, ensuring reliable performance throughout its service life.
