My 8-yr-old Fleck 5600 SXT has stopped measuring water used. Assuming the turbine flowmeter is at fault (again) I unplugged the cable from the flowmeter and tested it with a magnet. The flow indicator began flashing, which I take to indicate the cable is good, HOWEVER, even after over 100 passes with the magnet, the gallons-remaining display did not change.
I'm inclined to go ahead and replace the turbine with a paddlewheel flowmeter and appropriate cable however I'm having a hard time understanding why I couldn't manually cause the gallons remaining to decrease and would like to get that sorted before going forward. Anybody have any ideas?
