Comment on Replacing the Timer Motor ( 18743-1 ) on Fleck 5600 Valve

Being a twenty five year diesel mechanic and overall fix it guy, I have to say this company and it's site is one of the most informative,helpful and best put together sites I have ever seen. Congradulations on You're ethics and the availability of You're part numbers and cross over numbers. I will defineately tell everyone and anyone who has a problem with they're softener to contact You.I am helping a 70 year old widow (on a fixed income) who lives next door, She called me and asked Me if I could take a look at her softner since the repair company that came out told Her she needed a new softner for only $850.00 they would get Her up and running just like that(How sweet,and the service call was $95.00). I went over and found the motor not spinning,checked voltage and had current. Found this wonderful site and the exact replacement motor and saved her!(well you do the math) $850.00 compared to $32.95.(she unfortuneately lost the $95.00 for the service call,but fear not.My Mother made me pay that.Bless Her) God Bless and keep up the good work.And Sally say's thank You too.(71 in january) Greg from minnesota.

Great information. The video really helps how parts come apart and go together. Tips are given beyond what's in the rebuild instruction list.

Excellent! I saw your video which showed how easy it was. So I ordered the kit and when it came I re-watched the video and rebuilt the head just like the video showed. That is the best DIY video I have ever seen.

Great video, especially the part about the brine valve seal and what will happen if it’s not seated completely. Yes I had the leak until I opened it back up and reseated the seal inside. Thanks

I've appreciated all of your videos on the fleck 5600. Replaced the resin and installed the valve kit on a 20 yr old unit. Re-generated two cycles fine, but hung on brine rinse last night. Looks like maybe a timer motor. is there something else i should replace?

Comment on Setting Fleck Econominder Program Wheel Gallons Position

I had a difficult time finding any information about my 5600 Economider. I changed the settings for the worse and couldn't figure out exactly what everything meant. The manual was no help. I found this video linked from softenerparts.com and I was able to get my settings back to normal. Good information.
