What it does for your water
The AFWFilters Fleck 5600 Timer Control Valve is a timer control valve.
A timer head regenerates on a fixed schedule whether the resin needs it or not; it is simple and costs less, but uses more salt when water use varies.
Program the regeneration time for overnight, when no one is drawing water.
A replacement head must match the tank's thread (most residential tanks use 2.5-inch 8-thread), the distributor tube diameter and the injector size for the tank diameter. Parts that name it are in the valve parts lookup.
From the listing: model 5600; valve Fleck 5600.
The listing gives filter head in the box.
