Installation Instructions
1.
Unscrew by hand the entire Fleck 5600-SXT control valve from top of tank if it was shipped screwed
on. Place distributor tube in tank if not already inside tank. If not already done, make sure blue cap is
on top of distributor tube, or wrap the top of distributor tube with electrical or duct tape. The idea is
we do not want any media to go down the distributor tube.
2.
Next add the softening resin using the media funnel provided. If you purchased a Fine Mesh Resin
Softener add the included gravel first. Tank will be approximately 2/3to the 3/4 full.
3.
Remove cap or tape from top of distributor tube. Be careful not to pull up distributor tube when
removing cap or tape.
4.
Attach plastic top screen to the under-side of the Fleck 5600-SXT control valve. It is a funnel-shaped
plastic screen that snaps on to the control valve and prevents resin from being backwashed out to
drain during the regeneration cycles.
Plug or tape top of distributor tube
when adding media to prevent media
from entering. Remove when
finished.
