THE DRAIN LINE PLUMBING CONFIGURATION SHOULD INCLUDE ALL REQUIRED
SAFETY COMPONENTS TO PREVENT OVERFLOWS RESULTING FROM A POWER
FAILURE DURING REGENERATION.
The control will not start a new regeneration cycle without power. If the valve misses a
scheduled regeneration due to a power failure, it will queue a backwash. Once power is
restored, the control will initiate a regeneration cycle the next time that the Time of Day
equals the programmed regeneration time. Typically, this means that the valve will
regenerate one day after it was originally scheduled.
MAINTENANCE & TROUBLESHOOTING
THE CONTROLLER MUST BE DEPRESSURIZED BEFORE REMOVING ANY QUICK
CONNECTION CLIPS OR THE VALVE ITSELF FOR SERVICING. THE CONNECTOR
SHOULD BE PUSHED TOWARD THE CONTROL VALVE WHILE REMOVING CLIPS.
Service Recommendations
It is imperative that the salt level in your brine tank be kept at the correct level. See
“Regeneration” and “salt” sections above for details. Every time you add salt, inspect all
fittings for signs of leaks, as well as brine tubing for crimps or kinks that may impede brine
flow. Empty and clean the brine tank every three years.
Your Fleck 5810 valve is built for long term operation with limited maintenance. The seals
and spacers and piston assembly, injector, and injector screen require periodic servicing or
replacement, generally every 2 to 5 years. See Service Bulletin #5810-2 for instructions on
this procedure.
