Good evening all,
Along with a new house purchase in June I acquired a softener with a fleck 5600 valve and a kinetico sulfur guard system. Neither seemed to work at move in, I had the local service company come out and check the system, they said everything was in working order. It still seemed to be acting up and I had the privilege of having the fleck stick in backwash and flooding my basement a month later. The service company came out again, did something that wasn't even itemized on the bill and said it was good to go again.
Fast forward another month and I realized the softener was never pulling brine. I'm now intimately familiar with the fleck valve, and I admire its simplicity in function now that I understand it.
The peroxide system (sulfur guard) is my mystery now. In 6 months it's never gone through regen. I finally did a manual regen and it did pull peroxide, but I definitely still have a sulfur smell constantly.
The sulfur guard has a valve on it, slide style spool valve, one side has a stripe of blue tape the other side red tape. Can anyone tell me what this valve is?? No amount of searching tells me, and I refuse to give the dealer any more money at this point. I'm assuming it's temp related but I'd really like to know for sure.
Thanks!
Will
