What to do if my Pentair FLECK 7000XTR water conditioner fails to regenerate?
- M
  Miss Paula PruittAug 17, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit water conditioner isn't regenerating, there are several potential causes. First, ensure the unit has permanent electrical service by checking the fuse, plug, pull chain, or switch. Other causes can be a defective timer (replace it), a power failure (reset the time of day), an open by-pass valve (close it), no salt in the brine tank (add salt and maintain the level above the water), a plugged injector screen (clean it), or insufficient water flowing into the brine tank (check fill time and clean the brine line flow control if plugged). Also consider hot water tank hardness (repeated flushings may be required), a leak at the distributor tube (check for cracks, o-ring, and tube pilot), or an internal valve leak (replace seals and spacers and/or piston).

  Tammy SimmonsAug 19, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit is using too much salt, the cause may be an improper salt setting. Check both the salt usage and the salt setting to resolve this issue.

How to fix loss of water pressure in my Pentair FLECK 7000XTR Control Unit?
- F
  Francis MasonAug 22, 2025
  A loss of water pressure in your Pentair Control Unit could be due to a few reasons. It could be iron buildup in the line to the water conditioner (clean the line), iron buildup in the water conditioner itself (clean the control and add mineral cleaner to the mineral bed, also increase regeneration frequency), or the inlet of the control being plugged by foreign material (remove the piston and clean the control).

What to do if my Pentair FLECK 7000XTR softener fails to draw brine?
- A
  Alison FranklinAug 27, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit softener isn't drawing brine, it could be due to several reasons. The drain line flow control might be plugged (clean it), the injector could be plugged (clean the injector), or the injector screen might be plugged (clean the screen). Additionally, the line pressure might be too low (increase it to 20 psi), there could be an internal control leak (change seals, spacers, and piston assembly), or the service adapter may not have cycled (check the drive motor and switches).

What causes excessive water in the brine tank of my Pentair FLECK 7000XTR and how to resolve it?
- S
  Sherri RodriguezAug 30, 2025
  Excessive water in the brine tank of your Pentair Control Unit can be caused by several factors: a plugged drain line flow control (clean it), a plugged injector system (clean the injector and screen), a timer not cycling (replace the timer), foreign material in the brine valve (replace the brine valve seat and clean the valve), or foreign material in the brine line flow control (clean the brine line flow control).

Why does my Pentair FLECK 7000XTR Control Unit drain flow continuously?
- T
  Troy HallSep 2, 2025
  If the drain on your Pentair Control Unit is flowing continuously, it could be due to a few issues. The valve may not be programming correctly (check the timer program and positioning of control, and replace the power head assembly if it's not positioning properly), there 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), or there might be an internal control leak (replace the seals and piston assembly).

What causes iron in conditioned water from my Pentair FLECK 7000XTR Control Unit?
- M
  mlunaSep 5, 2025
  If you find iron in the conditioned water from your Pentair Control Unit, it's likely due to a fouled mineral bed. To address this, check the backwash, brine draw, and brine tank fill. You might also need to increase the frequency of regeneration and the backwash time.

What causes loss of mineral through the drain line in my Pentair Control Unit?
- C
  Cheryl WilliamsSep 8, 2025
  Loss of mineral through the drain line in your Pentair Control Unit can be attributed to a couple of reasons. There might be air in the water system (ensure the well system has a proper air eliminator control and check for a dry well condition), or the drain line flow control may be improperly sized (check for the proper drain rate).

What to do if my Pentair Control Unit cycles continuously?
- E
  Emily BishopSep 10, 2025
  If your Pentair Control Unit is cycling continuously, it is likely 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.
