Please take a moment to review this page in order
to familiarize yourself with these four ports on
the valve and the programming values below. It is
crucial not to mistake the inlet port with the outlet
port. Mistaking and reversing the inlet and outlet
ports will lead to failure of your softener system.
As you work through this guide, please make
sure to follow all instructions exactly and to make
special note of the bolded instructions and warn-
ing symbols. PDF viewers may click underlined

To the right are the program settings for your softener.
If not all of the values are filled in, you can calcu-
late the missing values on pages 4 and 5 of this
guide.
There we will cover identifying the 3 essential
values of H - HARDNESS , C - UNIT CAPACITY ,
and BF - BRINE FILL . The remaining values that are
already filled in are general standards for all softener
sizes and hardness levels.
MASTER PROGRAMMING MODE: To enter in/check
the adjacent values of your system, follow these steps:
With either the up or down arrow button, change the
clock to 12:01 PM, set the time by clicking the left-
most CYCLE / REGEN button, and then hold both the
up and down arrow buttons for 5 seconds to enter
master programming mode. Change values with the
arrow buttons and set each value and advance to the
next setting by clicking the CYCLE / REGEN button.

1) Water Test: Before start-up, it is crucial that you know your water’s HARDNESS and IRON levels in
order to set up your unit properly.
If your unit is not programmed with your particular hardness level, it will
either regenerate too early or too late. If you do not know your water hardness or iron levels, you can take a
sample of your untreated water to a local pool shop, hardware store, or well driller (city water has no iron)
2) Initial Hardness: Your Hardness test results may be recorded in Grains per Gallon (gpg), Parts per Million
(PPM), or Milligrams per Liter (mg/L). Note that PPM and mg/L are the same measure and both figures can
be used interchangeably. If you get a hardness level in PPM or mg/L, please divide this number by 17.1
to get Grains (gpg).
Ex: If your hardness is measured at 300 PPM, take 300 / 17.1 = 18 gpg before iron
3) H - COMPENSATED HARDNESS: Your Iron results should also be measured in either PPM or mg/L. Take
your level of iron multiplied by 5 and add it to the hardness level from the previous step.
This final figure
will be your Compensated Hardness Level that we will program into your softener system. Ex: If your iron level
is measured at 2 PPM, add 2 x 5 = 10 Grains of hardness to existing hardness total. 18 + 10 = 28 Grains Total
4) The compensated hardness level you just calculated will be the “H” value you use to program your
softener. You may record this in the table on page 2.
Depending on your compensated hardness level,
you will be able to use a different salt setting for programming and running your softener unit. The lower the
hardness level, the more efficient you will be able to be with salt consumption for regeneration

5) C - UNIT CAPACITY: In the first column, identify the section containing your softener tank size and then within this
section, find the row pertaining to your H - Compensated Hardness level. Then look under the C - Capacity column
to find the most efficient program value to enter for your C - Unit Capacity and record it in the table on page 2.
Note that your unit capacity program value may actually be lower than the tank’s rated capacity. This is to
accommodate a lower salt dose for regeneration.
6) BF - BRINE FILL: In the first column, identify the section containing your softener tank size and then within this
section, find the row pertaining to your H - Compensated Hardness level. Then look under the BF - Brine Fill column
to find the most efficient program value to enter for your BF - Brine Fill and record it in the table on page 2.
7) Example: If you ordered a 64K grain capacity system and have 28 gpg compensated hardness, you would look under
the 64K, 2.0 cu ft section and then look under the 25+ gpg row for your particular programming values. Note that the
11x11” and the 15x17” brine tanks are too small for the amount of brine needed to regenerate a 64K grain capacity system
with 25+ gpg hardness. According to the table you would opt for an 18” diameter brine tank with a grid plus 6” legs

1) Choose the final location for your water softener
tank and place the tank upright and level on the
surface. Filling the tank may be necessary on
some systems. Your tank may have also come
pre-filled, and in this case you only need to un-
screw the protective cap as shown in Figure 6-A
2) If your tank is not filled , place the riser tube
into the tank as shown in Figure 6-B . Please
make sure that the riser tube seats into the
bottom of the tank and that the top of the tube is
flush with the top of the tank opening

1) Before beginning your installation, please first
familiarize yourself with the IN and OUT ports on
the Fleck 5600 SXT Meter Valve. i In order to
prevent damage to your home and to the soft-
ener system, install the softener according to
the IN and OUT arrows on the softener valve
2) Locate the main shut-off valve for your house and
turn it to the OFF position. If you have a private
well, this valve should be near your well pressure
tank. If you have a city water supply, your valve
should be near your water meter
3) Depressurize and drain your home of water by
turning on all faucets and fixtures in your home,
including those outside
4) Pick your installation point and cut a section of
pipe out to run to and from your softener. In most
cases it is preferred to keep outside lines UN-
SOFTENED. If you wish to keep your outside
lines unsoftened, you must plumb BYPASS
lines to run hard water to these fixtures
5) Using soldered copper, PVC plastic pipe, or flex-
ible connections, plumb the system according to
all local plumbing codes. If using copper pipe,
please pre-fabricate at least a 12” section
of pipe for the IN and OUT bound lines and
use a wet rag on the lines being soldered to
prevent heat damage during soldering
6) Once all connections have been made, place the
system into bypass by either using your existing
3-valve bypass (if ordered with a YOKE adaptor),
or by switching your included bypass ON (if or-
dered with a bypass)
7) Next, gradually open your main valve and allow all
air in your plumbing lines to escape slowly. Also,
you may turn off all outside and inside faucets
and fixtures
8) Check for leaks at your plumbing site for signs
of slow drips and rectify if necessary. Please do
NOT take the softener out of BYPASS as the
installation is not completed yet. Please take
this opportunity to check and re-check the IN
and OUT ports to make sure they are correct
FIGuRe 8-C
5) Finally, assemble the plumbing adaptor to the
valve as shown in Figure 8-C (your bypass/
plumbing adapter model may vary). When
assembling the clips back onto the valve, leave
the first clip loose, tighten the second clip, and
complete the assembly by tightening the first
clip. i Please lightly tighten the screws
into the meter as overtightening will easily
cause cracking
3) Locate the plumbing adapter that was shipped
with your system and disassemble the plumbing
adaptor clips as shown in Figure 8-A
4) Using the included silicone lubricant packet, lu-
bricate the o-rings on the Fleck 5600 SXT Meter
Valve as shown in Figure 8-B

insert, and brine line screen to one end of the
included brine tubing as shown in Figure 9-A.
i Be sure to face the tapered side of the
ferrule towards the end of the brine line
2) Next, connect this prepared end of the tubing
to the Fleck 5600 SXT Meter Valve as shown in
Figure 9-B. Tighten the nut to the valve using a
wrench until snugly in place. Be careful not to
over tighten, as you may sever the brine line
3) Locate the brine well and remove the cap. You
may also take this moment to prepare and
insert the brine support grid determined
from pages 4 and 5
. Then pull the 474 Brine
Float Assembly
out of the brine well as shown
in Figure 9-C
4) Next, fix the 474 Brine Float Assembly to the

1) Locate the included barbed fitting and use Teflon
tape to wrap the threading. Be careful to wrap the
tape clockwise with the threading towards you.
Screw the fitting snugly into the drain port with a
wrench as shown in Figure 10-C. i Please use
caution not to overtighten this fitting
2) Next, assemble your ½” I.D. drain line to the drain
barb as shown in Figure 10-D. Be sure to use rigid
wall ½” I.D. tubing that will not flatten.
Wrap
electrical tape over the drain tubing to prevent a tube
split and clamp the tubing securely into place with the
included clamp as shown in Figure 10-E
7) If you ever need to remove the tube, evenly press on
both sides of the grey ring surrounding the tube and
pull out as shown in Figure 10-A. i
Be sure to recut
the end of the tube each time you remove it to
ensure a proper seal when the tube is inserted
8) Finally, use ½” inner diameter (I.D.) tubing to connect
the drain barb fitting on the brine tank to a floor drain
as shown in Figure 10-B. Note that this is not neces-
sary as the 474 assembly is designed to prevent an
overflow from occuring, but it is a good precaution

1) With one nearby softened faucet running in the COLD position, slowly open your bypass valve or 3-valve bypass
to about ¼ open to allow the air trapped in the softener to escape via your running faucet. NOTE: Opening the
bypass too quickly or too open may damage your softener or plumbing
2) Allow the softener tank to slowly fill with water. After a few minutes, you will see a trickle of water coming from
the cold water faucet. Allow the water to run slowly in this manner for an additional 5 minutes. Next, with the
cold water faucet still running, gradually move your bypass valve to the fully open position. NOTE: You may see
some initial discoloration from the softened water – this is normal and should dissipate within the first
40-50 gallons of water used.
Turn off the running cold water faucet when the water runs clear
3) i To test the integrity of your new system and all connections , it is strongly encouraged that you per-
form a short form regeneration to check for leaks before service. Begin this process by adding approximately
5 gallons of water/the amount of water needed to cover the brine grid into the brine tank. Start the regeneration se-
quence by HOLDING the REGEN button for 5 seconds. Once the screen stops flashing BW, let BW - Backwash run
for about 1 minute to observe the water leave out the drain line and check for leaks. If you notice any leaks, return to
page 10
to review preparing the drain connection. Click the REGEN button ONCE to move on to BD - Brine Draw
4) Once the screen stops flashing BD, let BD - Brine Draw run for about 1 minute to observe the water level in the
brine tank being drawn lower. Also check the brine line and the float valve in the brine well for leaks. If the water
level doesn't lower or there is a leak, return to pages 9 and 10 to review preparing the brine tank connection.
Click the REGEN button ONCE to move on to RR - Rapid Rinse
5) Once the screen stops flashing RR, advance from RR - Rapid Rinse to BF - Brine Fill by clicking the REGEN button
