    Fleck 5600SXT Carbon Filter Issues

    I haven't changed any parts yet. The current piston assembly has the green cap. Backwash has great flow but then nothing for rapid rinse. Maybe I should just order a full new valve and start fresh.

    Fleck 5600SXT Carbon Filter Issues

    Thanks guys! Any thoughts on the no flow during rapid rinse issue? I just can't understand that one. I tried digesting the diagrams in the 5600SXT Service Manual but it's hard to see what could cause this. The diagrams are really low resolution though and it's tough to see exactly what's...

    Bathroom Group DWV / Wet Vent Question

    I'm adding a second bathroom to a late 1800s farmhouse. I have some obstacles that limit where I can put the WC, lav, and shower and am looking for some feedback on DWV options. I'd like to do a single lav vent, using that to wet vent the rest of the bathroom group. I've spent a couple days...
