    Thanks to all especially Bannerman and Reach4 Reach4 sent me some links on the fittings. Replaced the O-ring, fresh cut on the tubing (Thanks CurtisWater), inserted the tube a full 3/4 of an inch.

    And I haven't seen him since. No idea where he got it. Anyone know a good supplier in the states for a replacement safety valve?

    Installing Fleck 5600SE

    Narrowed down problem to an air leak at John Guest connector in the Brine well. Water level was high because it didn't suck brine consistently on any regen done to date. During Brine Draw the water level was not going down. Disconnected tube and stuck it down the Brine well. Drained Brink tank...

    Installing Fleck 5600SE

    Thanks Bannerman The 7.5 was a typo. BF is set to 7 min. This started because it looked like a lot more water in Brine tank than the 5 gals I originally put in tank for first Regeneration. That's the water level after 1st Regen (80 lbs of salt minus 1 regen) That led you to recommend I look...

    Installing Fleck 5600SE

    More details on my continuing saga Could not remove the BLFC retainer without fear of breaking it. Could definitely tell a BLFC was installed but could not determine size or orientation. Tried a different approach. Ran another manual regen. During the BD cycle the water in the Brine tank...

    Installing Fleck 5600SE

    Not wanting to create more problems ... Any trick to remove retainer? I can see a flow restrictor but cannot read any numbers without removing it. The water in the brine tank is at about 11" measured in the float chamber. Or about 2 1/2" above the salt. Originally put 80 pounds of salt minus...

    Installing Fleck 5600SE

    I added 5 gallons after the salt but poured it into the tube with the float and tube connection. Could see water in tube but not in the main tank. Now the water is visible around the salt. BF set to 6 minutes. Any thoughts about the "jerkiness" during BF. I was concerned about the tube becoming...

    Reach4 and Bannerman First, Thank you for all your help. System programmed and using soft water this week with precharged resin. Could not get air out of resin tank until I followed Bannerman's suggestion using the Backwash cycle. Finally ran a manual regeneration. Wanted to observe and...

    Installing Fleck 5600SE

    Sticker does say 5600SE but it does have LCD display. That makes it a 5600SXT? Would Part number help? Your tank dimensions are correct. It has the Turbine Meter Assembly Bob

    Need some help. Purchased a Fleck 5600SE water softener. The guy I purchased it from delivered it and was to return the following weekend to install. That was months ago. I decided to tackle the job myself. Plumbing went fine. Softener installed. No leaks. Problem is programming. My old one...
