I have a Fleck 5600SE (LED model) it is not properly rinsing. Current timing is 1) backwash for 9min 2) Brine/rinse for 59min 3) Rapid rinse water flows for 1min then timer counts down 7min but no water flows to drain 4) Brine refill for 9min.
I have replaced the brine and other valve because unit was constantly running water down the drain after accidentally being unplugged for a long time. I had a service call and the conclusion was to buy and entire unit for $1800. The control was bonkers (see above behavior). I plan to be in the house two more years. I want to change the control unit out for a 5600SXT (LCD). The 5600SXT units available to me do not seem to have the turbine or the quick disconnect for my two knob plastic bypass. I hope I can use the ones I have. My unit is 24 years old. I plan to replace the resin. Can I expect any issues? Right now i get super salty water and the facet blows air occasionally when the salt occasionally appears radomly. I have 3 cases of bottled water to keep some domestic tranquility but I need good advice on what to do. $300 for a new valve and $100 of resin instead of the big bill. What is your advice?
Did I screw up the valve replacement? Tomorrow I plan to uninstall them and re-install. I have already cleaned a gallon of mud out of the brine tank and float.
