Upper Basket For Water Softener Valve Or Filter Valve Control Heads 1.05" For Fleck, Clack, And Autotrol Systems

I have a Maytag Water Treatment system. This was a perfect fit 👌

Wow, these are really well built baskets! Not flimsy like many others that are prone to cracking and media seepage. Because the slits are very thin, so no need to worry about your media sneaking through. It snuggly fits my down tube, and pops right into a Clack WS1 valve. Excellent product, good price, great value, and functionally. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy more if needed.

The product itself is fine, but Amazon placed it in an envelope, and it got crushed during delivery. I've requested a replacement. It should arrive on Tuesday. Hopefully Amazon will put this one in a box.

Does what it's supposed to. Does allow some of the smaller resin beads to pass during regen cycle, but that is temporary.

my basket broke due to old age this fits good and works well

The basket on my water softener riser tube collapsed, allowing softener resin into all of my water piping. It took 12 hours to clear the lines, and fortunately I was able to do it myself. Since I have to re-bed the softener, I purchased one of these baskets. If your softener is under too much pressure, the filter basket can deform, allowing the resin beads into your house piping. The basket can also become brittle over time, especially if you have a high concentration of chloramines in the water, which is the case with many municipal water supplies. If you have a water softener and suddenly lose all of the water pressure in one or more of your inside faucets, but the outside hose bibbs still work, you likely have resin in the system. If you put the softener in bypass mode and still have a problem, it's almost certainly a resin breakout. Look online for information about how to clear the lines. It's a major pain and very frustrating, because you have to check and clear EVERYTHING THAT HAS A WATER SUPPLY - sinks, tubs, toilets, dishwasher, refrigerator, washing machine. You also have to drain and flush your water heater. Now if you turn on a faucet or shower and have good flow, but then it quickly drops off, your softener resin may just be in need of replacing. If you put the softener in bypass mode and your pressure is restored, that is definitely the case. It is not difficult to re-bed a softener yourself, just time-consuming. So I highly recommend you replace the upper basket as long as you have the system pulled apart. It is a good idea to check your house water pressure periodically, just by hooking up a water gauge to a hose bibb. If your pressure is above 80 PSI, you are more likely to encounter pressure-related problems in the house. And in the case of a water softener, you want to prevent a resin breakout, not clean up after one. So, rule of thumb - if you are re-bedding your softener, ALWAYS replace the riser tube with filters. You do NOT want to go through what I did.

perfect fit!

good quality basket

Good quality for the price

Fit my softener perfectly. My Fleck 5600 is 15 years old and just replaced the media when I found the basket had a crack. Pretty easy to change.
