Summary

Product Identification

  • Model: 5600
  • Type: Mechanical Control Valve
  • Part No.: 40730 Rev C

Features

  • Simple mechanical design for ease of use.
  • Two valve body designs:
    • Downflow regeneration
    • Upflow regeneration
  • Injector/drain modules (brine valve, flow controls, injector) removable from the exterior.
  • Rugged timer with heavy-duty 3/8" wide plastic gears.
  • User-friendly operation.
  • Non-corrosive, UV-resistant, fiber-reinforced polymer valve body.
  • Economical with small annual power consumption, using a single motor to keep time and activate mechanics.
  • Designed with double backwash.

Options

  • Bypass valve (Fiber-reinforced polymer or stainless steel)
  • Low water use piston (as little as 29 gal./regeneration)
  • Choice of 7 or 12 day clock timers
  • Filter or softener control valve
  • Upflow or downflow regeneration control valve
