Take the other end of tube slide the Nut and Farrell over it and insert sleeve in to tube. Push

Programming the Fleck 5600SXT Water Softener control valve:
A few simple steps must be followed to program the Fleck 5600SXT Meter Valve.
It will be important to know what your water Hardness and Iron content is before doing this
programming procedure. If you do not know your water hardness or iron content you should
either look up your city water quality report by going to Google and typing in: water quality
report enter you water supply company or the city that you are in, or take a 8 oz sample to a
pool supply store or send one to us to have it tested.
Your Hardness test results may indicate GPG, PPM, or Mg/L. It is important to note that PPM
and Mg/L are the same measure and both figures can be treated interchangeably. If you get
a hardness figure in PPM or Mg/L, please divide this number by 17.1 to get Grains Per
Gallon “ GPG”
Iron results should also be measured in either PPM or Mg/L. Add your level of iron multiplied
by 3. Add this number to your hardness level. This figure will be your Total hardness content
that you will program into your softener system.
Example if water hardness is 10 GPG and
the iron is 1 PPM or Mg/L take the iron content of 1 and x 3 = 3 GPG hardness plus 10
GPG = total compensated hardness 13 GPG
First plug in your 5600SXT Valve to a nearby outlet. The system will illuminate 4 digits and
show the time of day and the amount of gallons remaining. This display will switch between
these values about every 5 seconds.
Set the time on the system to 12:01 PM by pressing either the UP or DOWN arrow as shown
in picture below. You can hold the button to allow the time to scroll faster.
