Pentair Fleck Valves Overview
Link to Fleck Manuals & Literature
Fleck Controls Inc. was founded in the US in 1950. It started to produce brine valves in 1958 and the first water softener valve in 1963. Pentair acquired Fleck Valve in 1995.
The Fleck 5600 Econominder control valve was introduced to the market in 1980. This workhorse valve is still being used today by water treatment professionals all over the world.
Today there is a complete line of Fleck valves up to 3” in size, all of them still manufactured in the USA – beware of foreign knockoffs!
