Hello all. This is my first post here.
I bought a Fleck 5600SXT to replace my autotrol mechanical valve. I would have replaced with the same valve or another mechanical valve but they seem to have been removed from the market here in Ireland.
The 5600SXT did not come with a turbine assembly (nor clips to hold the yoke on!) and I was wondering if the
turbine assembly is necessary for the valve to operate or is it an optional extra? Also, is the bypass valve necessary if I have other valves installed on both side of the softener? Lastly with the autorol, I could relieve pressure at the valve. I don't see this facility on the Fleck so is pressure relief for maintenance provided by opening a valve downstream? Thanks
