How It Works

The FL16345 Fleck O-Ring 362 functions as a critical sealing component inside the Fleck water softener valve assembly. It fits snugly around moving parts within the valve to prevent water from leaking out or bypassing the resin bed. This seal ensures that water flows correctly through the softening process, maximizing the system's efficiency and protecting internal components from damage caused by leaks.

By maintaining a tight seal, the O-ring helps preserve the pressure balance and smooth operation of the valve’s internal mechanisms. Its resilient material withstands constant compression and exposure to treated water, ensuring reliable performance over extended use.

What to Expect

Once installed, you will immediately notice a reduction or elimination of leaks around the valve area. The water softener will operate smoothly without unexpected drips or pressure loss. Within the first few days, your system should maintain steady water flow and softening efficiency as designed.

Over the longer term, this O-ring contributes to decreased maintenance needs by resisting wear and chemical exposure. Routine inspections can keep the seal in top condition, helping your Fleck valve deliver consistent performance for years.
