You can replace your Rainsoft Water Conditioner Valve with a Fleck 5600 ( either a 12 Day or Econominder version )
You would also need:
( 1 ) A new Brine Pickup Tube with Air Check ( our part # FP60002 ) and 3/8" x 3/8" Elbow ( # 58506NO ),
( 2 ) A few feet of 3/8" brine tubing ( # 50PE38BLK ).
These accessories are listed below the Valves, as related products.
( 3 ) You must select a "connection" for the Valve. Either a low cost plastic piping yoke ( 3/4" or 1" male piping threaded ends ) or stainless steel By Pass ( 3/4" or 1" female piping threaded ), purchased separately.
( 4 ) You will need to tell us your Tank Diameter ( typically 7, 8, 9, or 10 inches ).
This would be the ID, so whatever your OD is, just round down to nearest whole number.

Fleck 5600 Econominder Softener Valve, Metered Demand Control is our recommendation.
Or if you are on a budget, the simple 12 day timer on the Basic 5600 Valve will work well too.
We also have a Backwashing Only version of the Fleck 5600 for special non-softener applications.View Details
We include at no extra charge, a new distributor kit. This is part # MD1236. It is a plastic lower screen which can be cemented to a piece of 3/4" PVC pipe to construct a new distributor tube. Your old distributor could be slightly smaller than the ones now used by both Fleck and Autotrol ( old size 13/16", new size 1.05" outer diameter ).
Most Rainsoft Valves use the 1.05" tube in the resin tank, and as long as it is within 1/2" of the top of the tank, you will not need to change the distributor pipe.
We also include a 1.05 Top Distributor Twist On - part # MD1203 at no charge. This top distributor just prevents resins from getting flushed up into the control valve and out the drain. It is not needed on most systems, but it provides simple and low cost protection.
