How It Works

This Fleck metered control valve functions as the brain of your water softener system, precisely measuring water usage to determine when regeneration is necessary. When your household water consumption reaches a preset volume, the valve initiates the regeneration process, flushing the resin bed to renew its softening capacity.

By controlling the timing and duration of regeneration, the valve helps conserve salt and water resources while maintaining optimal softening performance. Its reliable mechanical design ensures consistent operation even in demanding water treatment environments.

What to Expect

Once installed, you’ll notice your water softener regenerates only as needed, which means fewer unnecessary cycles and reduced salt consumption from the very first use. Over the initial days and weeks, the valve will fine-tune its metering to your household’s water usage patterns, optimizing performance.

In the long term, expect dependable operation with minimal intervention. Regular maintenance is straightforward, keeping your water treatment system running smoothly and extending the life of your softener components.
