Fleck 7000 Softener Programming Guide
Steps to take:
Perform a Master Reset: Unplug the Fleck 7000 from the electrical wall outlet. Hold the Extra Cycle
button while plugging in and powering up the unit. This resets all of the parameters in the unit.
Enter Master Programming Mode: Set the Time Of Day display to 12:01 P.M. Press the Extra Cycle
button once (to exit Setting Time of Day mode). Then press and hold the Up and Down buttons together
until the programming icon replaces the service icon and the Display Format screen appears.
Note, that when the Master Programming Mode is entered, all available option setting displays may be
viewed and set as needed. Depending on current option settings, some parameters cannot be viewed or
set.
1. Display Format (Display Code DF): Set display to GAL (stands for U.S. Gallons), or change to
Liters or Cubic Meters if out of the U.S. Press the Extra Cycle button to go to the next step.
2. Valve Type (Display code VT): Set to DF2b. This means it is set for standard Downflow mode.
Press the Extra Cycle button to go to the next step.
3. Control Type (Display Code CT): Set to Fd. This is the Meter Delayed option. This tells the
Fleck 7000 control to meter or keep track of the amount of water used, but then wait until the pre-
set regeneration (backwash and rinse cycles) time, typically in the middle of the night. Press the
Extra Cycle button.
4. Unit Capacity (Display Code C): Set to 30 if you have a 30K grain capacity softener; 48 if
you have a 48K grain softener, or 80 if you have an 80K grain softener. Use this display to
set the Unit Capacity. This setting specifies the treatment capacity of the unit. Press the Extra
Cycle button to go to the next step.
5. Feedwater Hardness (Display Code H): Set to your water hardness in grains per gallon.
This is the feed water hardness, that allows the meter to calculate the number of gallons between

backwashes. If your water hardness is 10 grains per gallon for example, set this to 10. If your
water test shows the hardness in PPM or mg/L, then divide this number by 17.1 to reach grains
per gallon. 1 grain per gallon = 17.1 ppm or mg/L of hardness.
6. Reserve Selection (Display Code RS): Set to SF.
7. Safety Factory (Display Code SF): Set to 20. This will allow the softener to regenerate 200
gallons sooner to avoid having the softener resin get totally exhausted before it need s to
regenerate.
8. Day Override (Display Code DO): Set to 7 to 14 . Use the Up or Down arrows to change the
setting. This will allow the softener to regenerate once every 7 to 14 days no matter how much
water is used. This is optional (can be set to 0) but it can be useful if you have iron or other
sediment to keep the softener clean.
9. Regeneration Time: (Display Code RT): Set to 2:00 am generally or sometime when no water
is being used, and no other filter or softener is likely to be in a regeneration cycle. Press the Extra
Cycle button.
10. Regeneration Cycle Step Times: Use this display to set the various minutes of each cycle.
Some of the cycles will be set to 0. Do not set any of the cycles to Off. Use the Up or Down
arrows to change the setting to the desired setting. Press the Extra Cycle button to accept the
setting and move to the next parameter.
a. B1 – Backwash: Set to 8 minutes.
b. BD - Brine Draw: Set to 60
c. B2 - 2nd Backwash: Set to 6 minutes.
d. RR - Rapid Rinse: Set to 6 minutes
e. BF - Brine Fill: 30K grain softeners: set to 12 minutes. 48K grain softeners set to 20
minutes. 80K grain softeners: set to 32 minutes.
f. SV - Service (meaning it is in Service or filtering mode) no setting is needed for
this. Press the Extra Cycle button
11. Flow Meter Type (Display Code FM): Set to t1.2 (which is standard Fleck 7000 meter). Press
the Extra Cycle button.

12. Press the Extra Cycle button to save all settings and exit Master Programming Mode. Note that
the control valve may take several minutes to re-home and re-set after the Master Programming
steps, do not unplug the control during this process.
User Programming
It is all programmed now, but if you want to later, you can go into User Programming and make
adjustments to the flow meter setting or Day Override setting. Use the User Programming to avoid having
to go through the Master Programming for quick changes to these settings below:
1. Press the Up and Down buttons for five seconds while in service, and the time of day is NOT set
to 12:01 PM.
2. Day Override (Display Code DO): Set to 7 to 14
3. Regeneration Time (Display Code RT): Set to 2:00 am generally or sometime when no water
is being used, and no other filter or softener is likely to be in a regeneration cycle. Press the Extra
Cycle button.
4. Feed Water Hardness: Use this setting to adjust the feed water hardness. Set for 20 for most
applications. Press the Extra Cycle button.
5. Fixed Reserve Capacity (Display Code RC): This allows you some reserve, in case the
softener meter has counted down to zero at the beginning of the day. Press the Extra Cycle
button.
6. Press the Extra Cycle button to end User Programming Mode.
Diagnostic Programming Mode
Press the Up and Extra Cycle buttons for five seconds while in service. See the current flow rate in
gallons per minute currently flowing through your system! Press the UP button to go between the
diagnostic displays.
Abbreviation Parameter Description
FR Flow Rate Displays the current outlet flow rate
PF Peak Flow Rate Displays the highest flow rate last regeneration
HR Hours in Service Displays the total hours that the unit has been in service
