Fleck 5600SXT digital control valve with meter based regeneration for replacing or upgrading the current valve on most water softening systems. Digital controller provides a top-of-the-line experience with more efficiency and control than mechanical heads. LCD display shows important information and makes user interaction simple. Easy to use interface simplifies programming and makes setting up a breeze! Adjustable cycles allow complete control over the system, allowing you to fine tune each setting to get the most out of your system. Internal Backup maintains the correct time and prevents loss of settings in the event of a power outage. Metered "On-Demand" regeneration reduces water and salt consumption. It also ensures you are never without treated water! Standard size mounting base has 2-1/2" - 8 NPSM threads that fit most standard softening tanks. Simply unscrew your old head and screw the new one on! Note: comes standard with 1" pilot opening for riser tube. Includes transformer for connecting to standard 110v outlet as well as flow controls on the brine and drain lines. Some "bargain" control valves do not include these key components. Note: Please specify the size of tank being used when ordering to ensure proper flow control sizing. The Fleck 5600SXT works similar to the standard 5600 but uses a digital interface instead of a mechanical one. This makes setup easier, and with the digital control it can be set to go through up to 9,999 gallons of water between regenerations. The 5600SXT can be more efficient that the 5600 because of this, especially in larger homes with lower hardness levels. The other advantage the 5600SXT has is adjustable regeneration cycles, while in most cases these settings won't need to be adjusted, with the 5600SXT the option is there should you ever need it. Digital Controller Adjustable Cycles Battery Backup Meter Based Regeneration Fits Standard Tanks Includes Transformer & Flow Controls

Programming Insert IncludedStep by step programming guide included with the Fleck 5600 SXT metered control valve. |
Secure PackagingThe valve comes boxed in original manufacturer packaging as seen above. The valves are pretested from the manufacturer so some residual lubrication or moisture are completely normal and part of the testing process. |
Compact turbine meter & cable included free of charge
The turbine flow meter measures water usage for demand softeners and is necessary for proper operation.
The meter actually measures your water usage allowing the water softener to only back wash as needed, keeping your water soft at all times and due to its extremely high efficiency saving you money on salt and water usage.
Tried & True
The internal components in the valve portion of the head have been on the market for over 40 years, with some of the originals still working to this day.
It is the most copied design water softener valve on the market due to its extreme durability and peak performance.

Do yourself a favor, if you're replacing your valve unit and your filter media in your tank is over 7-10 years old, just spend the extra 60.00-100.00 to replace it as it degrades over time and reduces effectiveness of your softener. Ordered it through Amazon as it was cheaper with delivery than elsewhere on the interwebs and it was fairly easy to do.
Put valve connecting your valve unit to the wall/pipes into bypass, disconnect unit from wall/ pipes, unscrew valve control unit and take off tank, remove PVC pipe with lower basket by pulling up carefully, take tank outside and either vacuum it out with a shop vac or hose it out into a bin or trash, use hose to rinse all old media out of tank and PVC pipe/basket, inspect lower basket for cracks or looseness and replace if necessary (see my review on Fleck lower basket), refill tank with the appropriate amount of media for the size of your tank (see manual or interwebs), spray some water in with hose, push PVC pipe with lower basket down into media by blowing down into the pipe with your mouth (highly technical technique) to push media out of the way, feed PVC pipe top through upper basket attached to this new valve control unit (included) and thread onto the top of the media tank, attach unit back to valve/wall, slowly put the valve on wall back from bypass to normal operation so water pressure slowly fills into tank. Follow manufacturer directions from here to set up the settings on this new Fleck valve and also for start up process to cycle it through one or two backwash and fill cycles. Best of luck on your project!
