Hello all. I have a water softener with the Fleck 5600 head. It has always made a slight ticking noise but lately it's getting louder. Is this something to worry about? I assume its the timing mechanism. Do they have issues with wearing out?

The unit is only about 2-3 years old.

Probably a 24 volt unit, those motors are good for 3-10 years. They always tick, this is normal, but eventually they will fail. Most people just ignore it until it fails. Just check the time of day every few weeks, if the time is correct, it is working. They are simply a noisy motor.
