Page 7: Step 1 - Pre-Installation Inspection
Step 1. – Pre-Installation Inspection Inspect all of the components that you received with your unit. You should have received the following: 1. Fleck 5810 SXT Control Valve 2. Media Tank 3. Upper Screen 4. Bypass Assembly w/ Bypass Valve and 1” NPT Connector Yokes (2) 5. - Page 8 In most cases, the system should be located AFTER your water pump and pressure tank(s) and BEFORE all other water treatment equipment and your hot water heater. IF YOU HAVE OTHER WATER TREATMENT EQUIPMENT, YOU SHOULD DISCUSS THE ORDER OF YOUR TREATMENT EQUIPMENT WITH YOUR DEALER PRIOR TO INSTALLATION.

Page 9: Step 3 - Prepare Treatment Tank
You will also need access to a standard, non-switched, grounded 120 volt (60 Hz) electrical outlet. An extension cord may be used to reach a suitable electrical outlet. If this option is used, ensure that the extension cord is UL/CSA certified and of an appropriate wire gauge for the application. - Page 10 For the following steps, we recommend that you wear a dust mask. Take the bag/box of gravel and, using a small scoop, add the gravel to the tank through the funnel to completely cover the lower distributor. Use all of the gravel. Be sure to provide some downward pressure on the riser tube while adding the gravel to ensure that the distributor does not shift out of its recess or rise up.

Page 11: Step 4 - Turn Off The Water & Electric Water Heaters
Fill the media tank with water up to within a couple of inches of the top of the tank. This will allow the media to pre-soak, thereby preventing media loss during the initial backwash. DO NOT INITIATE A REGENERTION OF THIS SYSTEM FOR A MINIMUM OF 2 HOURS AFTER ADDING THE WATER TO ALLOW ADEQUATE PRE-SOAKING. -
Page 12: Step 5 - Prepare And Install Inlet And Outlet Plumbing Connection
If you have a conventional electric water heater or an on-demand (tankless) electric water heater, we highly recommend that you turn off the power to the heater while installing any water treatment equipment. Turn off power to your water heater now. Turn off the household main water shutoff valve. - Page 13 The system’s control valve is connected to your incoming and outgoing water lines by way of a bypass assembly with 1”NPT threaded fittings. This assembly is composed of the bypass valve and two 1”NPT connector yokes. TEFLON® TAPE IS THE ONLY SEALANT TO BE USED ON THE 1” NPT CONNECTOR YOKES AND DRAIN FITTINGS.

(including the correct connection adapters to mate with the threaded fittings on the bypass assembly’s connection yokes. Be sure to follow all local plumbing codes. WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU REMOVE THE BYPASS ASSEMBLY FROM THE CONTROL VALVE BEFORE MAKING THESE FINAL CONNECTIONS AS YOU MAY INADVERTENTLY APPLY TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON THE VALVE WHILE SECURING THE ADAPTERS, CAUSING DAMAGE TO THE VALVE BODY. - Page 15 your media tank. A nearby floor drain, sump pump, or a standpipe for a washing machine is an excellent option. We recommend that the drain line be connected to a minimum 1 1/2" drain standpipe or floor drain located ideally below the top of the head of your water filter. Locate the drain port on the back of your control valve.

line be increased in size (diameter), and that it not be fastened flush to the bottom of a floor joist to minimize noise transfer to the upstairs of the building during regeneration. Using an appropriate fitting, connect the drain line flow control to your drain line tubing/pipe. The DLFC can be removed from the control valve to facilitate easier plumbing if desired. - Page 17 Plug the control valve into a standard, grounded 120 volt (60 Hz) electrical outlet. Be certain that the outlet is uninterrupted and not controlled by a switch. An extension cord may be used to reach a suitable electrical outlet. Ensure that the extension cord is UL/CSA certified and of an appropriate wire gauge for the application.

softener or other automatic backwashing water treatment systems, make sure that they are not set to backwash / regenerate at the same time. We recommend that they backwash/regenerate at least 2 hours apart. Follow the instructions under “User Programming Mode” to change the frequency or backwash time if desired. If you want to change the duration of the backwash or final rinse cycles, these settings must be edited in the “Master Programming Mode”... -
Page 19: Backwash
INSPECT YOUR DRAIN LINE PLUMBING CONNECTIONS AND REPAIR ANY LEAKS IMMEDIATELY BEFORE PROCEEDING. IF THE PLUMBING PIPE RATTLED OR VIBRATED DURING THIS PROCESS CAUSING EXCESSIVE NOISE, USE ADDITIONAL FASTENERS TO BETTER SECURE THE DRAIN LINE. Press the EXTRA CYCLE button and hold it down for about 5 seconds to engage a full backwash and rinse cycle. - Page 20 Mode (see below). If you experience reduced service flow rate and pressure loss due to clogging, it is recommended that you increase the frequency and/or duration of your backwash. If on the mornings after a backwash your water is often discolored or has evidence of sediment, increase the duration of the rapid rinse cycle in 1 minute increments until the problem is resolved.

Page 21: Changing Time Of Day
CHANGING TIME OF DAY During regular service mode, the digital display will alternate between the current time of day and the number of days until the next scheduled regeneration. For proper operation, it is important that the valve display the correct time of day. To change the time of day, press either the UP or DOWN button and hold for a few seconds. -
Page 22: Master Programming Mode
To change the setting, use the UP and DOWN buttons. Press the EXTRA CYCLE button when done. If you do not want to change the current setting, simply press the EXTRA CYCLE button to skip to the next step. The display will now show the REGENERATION (BACKWASH) TIME (parameter display code RT). -
Page 23: Resets
In this mode, you can adjust a parameter setting by using the UP and DOWN buttons. To save your changes and/or to skip to the next parameter, press the EXTRA CYCLE button. Press the EXTRA CYCLE button at the last parameter to save all settings and return to normal operation. -
Page 24: Operation During A Power Failure
OPERATION DURING A POWER FAILURE The 5810SXT valve/controller includes integral power backup. In the event of power failure, the control shifts into a power-saving mode. The display and motor shut down, but it continues to keep track of the time and day for a minimum of 48 hours. The system configuration settings are stored in a non-volatile memory and are stored indefinitely with or without line power. - Page 25 Service Recommendations Your Fleck 5810 valve is built for long term operation with limited maintenance. The seals and spacers and piston assembly require periodic servicing or replacement, generally every 2 to 5 years. See Service Bulletin #5810-1 for instructions on this procedure. NextSand media should generally be replaced every 5 years.
