I have a 5600sxt. Flow rate was 0.0 per diagnostic check, so I just cleaned out the control valve assembly and made sure there were no built-up iron deposits remaining. I put it back together and, still, flow rate is 0.0. When I turn a faucet on, the flow indicator (water droplet icon) does not show up, and the "gallons remaining" number does not change. I can successfully run a regeneration cycle and everything works (brine draw, fill, etc., with a good float assembly). What is my next step? I think the control valve assembly is in good shape.

What is the lifespan of the 5600sxt? I ask because I currently have one installed in my home, which is about 15 years old. So, how does one determine the condition of the unit. I've never had any errors with the unit in 15 years, but is it time to swap out for a new 5600sxt. If I do decide to swap out, should I buy the entire device, or do you think I would only need a tank? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Hi! It really depends on water quality and water usage for how long a system may last. The only way to know it is time for a new one is when the old one goes out on you. If your current system is running fine, there's no reason to upgrade just yet. Whether you buy a complete new system or just new resin is up to you! There are benefits to both, such as new warranties on a new system or saving on cost by doing just resin. Feel free to give us a call and pick our brains regarding your situation.

During the last four years, we have had no problems with the same model, but now we are experiencing continuous drain, and softener tank is completely empty, would it be possible for you to suggest any solutions?

@AplusWaterLLC 8 месяцев назад

Hi! Continuous leak to the drain is usually a red flag that the main piston seals of the valve are either worn down or compromised by debris. Once you replace/clean those seals, you should be back to normal operation. Hope that helps! - Aplus Water

Thanks for the video, What to do if the controll valve electronic no longer function (broken) ?

@AplusWaterLLC 6 месяцев назад

If the system is unable to be regenerated, you'll need to depressurize the entire home. To do this, you'll want to shut the main water off and run a faucet until there is no water left. Hope that helps! -Aplus Water

@@AplusWaterLLC Thank you for the info. I have another question. My 5600 sxt screen is dead, I change the 24vac power supply but that didn't help. Is the controll board bad?

@AplusWaterLLC 6 месяцев назад

@@wsurfer2147 If replacing the transformer did not help, there is a good chance that the circuit board is to blame for no power to the valve. (assuming the outlet that the system is plugged into is working properly)- Aplus Water

@wsurfer2147 6 месяцев назад

@@AplusWaterLLC Thank you. I replaced the transformer but it also died. Because i think there is a short somewhere in the controll head. The original tramsformer died. I did check the outlet by plugging a light and it was fine.

@snipex111 10 месяцев назад

Should i depressurize and bypass when going on vacation?? Say 7 days ?

@AplusWaterLLC 10 месяцев назад

Hi, If you're only going to be gone for a while, just unplug the system from the outlet. This will prevent it from regenerating while you're gone. No need to depressurize or bypass the system! Whenever you get back, you'll just plug the valve back in and reset the time of day. The programming will remain indefinitely for you. Hope that helps! - Aplus Water

@snipex111 10 месяцев назад

Yes thank you

Is the turbine valve necessary if it’s an AIO that recharges every 3 days anyway?

@AplusWaterLLC 10 месяцев назад

Hi! An air injection system will not use a meter. It runs strictly on the day override setting. Hope that helps! -Aplus Water

@mechanickb4350 2 года назад

Hey I just installed one of these I bought on Amazon followed all the program instructions, and I have no water output and an error code 1 on the display. I double checked the water direction ( inlet and outlet) inlet being on the right facing the controller. I did 2 complete Regens. I only get water output in the bypass position. Do you have any ideas why it's not working?

@AplusWaterLLC 2 года назад

Hi, Usually when there is no water output to the home, we tell our customers to verify the direction of the check valve on the control valve. When the check valve is on the wrong side (output side not input side) or backwards on the correct side, it can cause this issue. You can always give us a call and one of our techs can walk you through that as well! Hopefully this helps! - Aplus Water

@aschinnen Год назад

My control valve is broken, I can no longer turn it on. How do I depressurize the fleck 5600 SXT without it?

@AplusWaterLLC Год назад

Great question! When the valve does not have any power to it, you will have to depressurize your entire house. To do this, shut off the water to the whole house using the main water shut off and then run a cold water faucet until the water stops coming out. Hopefully that helps! - Aplus Water
