PENTAIR FLECK 5000 Control Valve Service Manual
STARTUP INSTRUCTIONS
The water softener should be installed with the inlet, outlet, and
drain connections made in accordance with the manufacturer’s
recommendations, and to meet applicable plumbing codes.
1.
Turn the manual regeneraton knob slowly in a clockwise
direction until the program micro switch lifts on top of the
first set of pins. Allow the drive motor to move the piston to
the first regeneration step and stop. Each time the program
switch position changes, the valve will advance to the next
regeneration step. Always allow the motor to stop before
moving to the next set of pins or spaces.
NOTE:
For electronic valves, please refer to the manual
regeneration part of the timer operation section. If the
valve came with a separate electronic timer service
manual, refer to the timer operation section of the
electronic timer service manual.
2.
Position the valve to backwash. Ensure the drain line flow
remains steady for 10 minutes or until the water runs clear
(see above).
3.
Position the valve to the brine / slow rinse position. Ensure
the unit is drawing water from the brine tank (this step may
need to be repeated).
4.
Position the valve to the rapid rinse position. Check the drain
line flow, and run for 5 minutes or until the water runs clear.
5.
Position the valve to the start of the brine tank fill cycle.
Ensure water goes into the brine tank at the desired rate.
The brine valve drive cam will hold the valve in this position
to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration.
6.
Replace control box cover.
7.
Put salt in the brine tank.
NOTE:
Do not use granulated or rock salt.

Features of the SXT
•
Power backup that continues to keep time and the
passage of days for a minimum of 48 hours in the event
of power failure. During a power outage, the control goes
into a power-saving mode. It does not monitor water
usage during a power failure, but it does store the volume
remaining at the time of power failure.
•
Settings for both valve (basic system) and control type
(method used to trigger a regeneration).
•
Day-of-the-Week controls.
•
While in service, the display alternates between time of
day, volume remaining or days to regeneration, and tank in
service (twin tank systems only).
•
The Flow Indicator flashes when outlet flow is detected.
•
The Service Icon flashes if a regeneration cycle has
been queued.
•
A Regeneration can be triggered immediately by pressing
the Extra Cycle button for five seconds.
•
The Parameter Display displays the current Cycle Step
(BW, BF, RR, etc) during regeneration, and the data display
counts down the time remaining for that cycle step. While
the valve is transferring to a new cycle step, the display will
flash. The parameter display will identify the destination
cycle step (BW, BF, RR, etc) and the data display will read
“----”. Once the valve reaches the cycle step, the display will
stop flashing and the data display will change to the time
remaining. During regeneration, the user can force the
control to advance to the next cycle step immediately by
pressing the extra cycle button.
Setting the Time of Day
1.
Press and hold either the Up
or
Down buttons until the
programming icon replaces the service icon and the
parameter display reads TD.
2.
Adjust the displayed time with the Up and Down buttons.
3.
When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button to
resume normal operation. The unit will also return to normal
operation after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.
