Why is my Pentair FLECK 5810 SXT Water Filtration Systems softener not using salt?
- A
  Alisha FlowersSep 12, 2025
  If your Pentair Water Filtration System softener isn't using salt, begin by cleaning the drain line and/or flow control to remove any blockages. Check and clean or replace the injector and screen if they are plugged. Ensure there's water in the brine tank and check for any restrictions in the BLFC, making sure the safety float isn't stuck. Verify that the line pressure is at least 1.4 bar. Inspect the brine line for air leaks. If the issue persists, it may be due to an internal valve leak, in which case you should call a dealer to check the piston, seals, and spacers for scratches and dents.

  To address excessive water in the brine tank or salty water in your Pentair Water Filtration System, start by checking the flow to the drain and clean the flow control if it's plugged. Also, inspect the brine valve for dirt or damage and clean or replace it as necessary. A plugged injector can also cause this issue, so clean the injector and replace the screen. Ensure the inlet pressure is at least 1.4 bar to allow the injector to function correctly, and if the timer isn't cycling, consider replacing it.

How to fix loss of water pressure in Pentair Water Filtration Systems?
- L
  Leah RichAug 23, 2025
  To resolve a loss of water pressure in your Pentair Water Filtration System, you can start by cleaning or replacing the inlet pipe if scaling or fouling is present, and consider pretreatment to prevent recurrence. If the resin is fouled, clean it and pretreat to prevent future fouling. If the backwash is improper, which may be indicated by too many resin fines or sediment, call a dealer to reset the backwash flow rate or adjust the time.

What to do if Pentair FLECK 5810 SXT has poor water quality?
- J
  Jonathan GentryAug 28, 2025
  If your Pentair Water Filtration System shows poor water quality, you should check the items listed for loss of capacity. Ensure the bypass valve is closed. Check for channeling due to service flow being too slow or high and check for media fouling. Make sure the mixing is set correctly.

Why Pentair Water Filtration Systems has loss of capacity?
- S
  Scott ReynoldsAug 30, 2025
  If your Pentair Water Filtration System is experiencing a loss of capacity, reset the unit to the new hardness if the raw water hardness has increased. Ensure the brine tank is always full of salt and clean it yearly. If you notice salt bridging, break it up, and if using a salt grid plate, ensure refill water covers it. For resin fouling, poor distribution, internal valve leak, resin age, or resin loss, it is recommended to call a dealer.

How to fix motor stall/cam sense error in Pentair FLECK 5810 SXT Water Filtration Systems?
- N
  nicholas96Sep 7, 2025
  To address a motor stall or cam sense error in your Pentair Water Filtration System, unplug the unit and plug it back in, allowing the controller to attempt to find its position again. If it fails, unplug the unit, open the cover, and ensure the optical sensor is in place with the wires connected. Verify the motor and gearing components are in good condition and assembled correctly. Check the valve to ensure the piston travels freely. Replace or reassemble components as necessary. If the error persists, unplug the unit, put it into bypass, and contact a dealer.
