Why is my Fleck 7000SXT Controller not regenerating?
If your Fleck Controller isn't regenerating, several factors could be at play. First, ensure the unit has continuous electrical service by checking the fuse, plug, pull chain, or switch. If the power supply is not the issue, verify that the timer is working correctly; if it's defective, it should be replaced. Lastly, if there was a power failure, reset the time of day on the controller.
How to fix hard water with Fleck 7000SXT?
If you're experiencing hard water with your Fleck Controller, start by checking the bypass valve to ensure it is closed. Next, verify that there is enough salt in the brine tank, maintaining the salt level above the water level. Also, inspect the injector screen for any blockages and clean it if necessary. Check the brine tank fill time and clean the brine line flow control if it's plugged. If the issue persists, flushing the hot water tank may be required. Inspect the distributor tube for cracks, checking the O-ring and tube pilot. Finally, an internal valve leak could be the cause, requiring replacement of seals, spacers, and/or the piston.
Why is my Fleck 7000SXT Controller using too much salt?
If your Fleck Controller is using too much salt, begin by checking the salt usage and salt setting to ensure they are properly configured. If the salt setting is correct, the issue might be excessive water in the brine tank. Refer to the troubleshooting steps for 'Excessive water in brine tank'.
What to do if I have loss of water pressure with Fleck 7000SXT Controller?
If you're experiencing a loss of water pressure with your Fleck Controller, the issue might be due to iron buildup. Start by cleaning the line to the water conditioner. If that doesn't resolve the problem, clean the control and add a mineral cleaner to the mineral bed, also increase the frequency of regeneration. If you've recently done plumbing work, the inlet of the control might be plugged with foreign material; in this case, remove the piston and clean the control.
Why am I seeing loss of mineral through drain line in my Fleck Controller?
If you notice a loss of mineral through the drain line of your Fleck Controller, it could be due to air in the water system. Ensure that your well system has a proper air eliminator control and check for a dry well condition. Alternatively, the drain line flow control might be improperly sized; check for the proper drain rate.
How to remove iron in conditioned water from Fleck 7000SXT Controller?
If you find iron in the conditioned water from your Fleck Controller, it's likely due to a fouled mineral bed. Check the backwash, brine draw, and brine tank fill. Try increasing the frequency of regeneration and the backwash time to resolve this issue.
What causes excessive water in brine tank of Fleck 7000SXT?
If there's excessive water in the brine tank of your Fleck Controller, start by cleaning the drain line flow control. If the problem persists, clean the injector and screen, as the injector system might be plugged. If these steps don't work, the timer may not be cycling, requiring a timer replacement. Also, check for any foreign material in the brine valve; if found, replace the brine valve seat and clean the valve. Lastly, inspect the brine line flow control for foreign material and clean it if necessary.
Why is my Fleck Controller softener not drawing brine?
If your Fleck Controller softener fails to draw brine, first check if the drain line flow control is plugged and clean it if necessary. If the issue persists, inspect the injector for any blockages and clean it. Also, check the injector screen and clean it if plugged. Ensure that the line pressure is at least 20 psi (1.3 bar); increase it if it's too low. If none of these steps work, there might be an internal control leak, requiring you to change the seals, spacers, and piston assembly. Finally, check the drive motor and switches to ensure the service adapter is cycling correctly.
What causes my Fleck Controller to cycle continuously?
If your Fleck Controller cycles continuously, it may be due to a misadjusted, broken, or shorted switch. Determine if the switch or timer is faulty and replace it, or replace the complete power head.
Why is the drain flowing continuously in my Fleck 7000SXT?
If the drain flows continuously in your Fleck Controller, it could be due to a valve programming issue. Check the timer program and the positioning of the control. If it's not positioning properly, replace the power head assembly. Another cause could be foreign material in the control; remove the power head assembly, inspect the bore, remove any foreign material, and check the control in various regeneration positions. Lastly, an internal control leak could be the problem, requiring replacement of the seals and piston assembly.
