5600 Control Valve

Replace your clunky old control valves with the simple, efficient control of the clock operated 5600C - Clock Control series by Good Water Warehouse: the ideal valve for residential and light commercial water conditioning applications. Featuring a variety of valve heads and timer controls, this series offers traditional 3-cycle and 5-cycle options, along with electronic controls, mechanical controls and 24V SXT models. With refinements such as alternating or other time clock regeneration options and flow rate based systems, the 5600C is an extendable workhorse that gives you top level performance with 12 day time clock regeneration with adjustable brining routine when demands calls for more frequent regen of your water softener.

All models are intelligently engineered to deliver years of dependable performance, and are available with options like voltage (120V or 24V), injector type, and motor design (such as turbine or paddle). These features enable professionals and homeowners to choose the ideal control head for varying water conditions, set-ups and preferences.

Valve Cycle Configurations

The Valumax 5600C - Clock Control Family of Products offers a choice of either 3-cycle or 5 cycle operation to alternately backwash and rinse the system, providing optimum regeneration:

3-Cycle Valves:

• Focused on basic softening regeneration
• Easy-to-use and efficient for routine applications

5-Cycle Valves:

Offers complete cycling control - downflow and upflow including backwash, brine draw, slow rinse, rapid rinse, brine refill and service position

Perfect for customers who need faster regeneration and increased performance

Model Variants and Features

Standard Timer Models (120V)

• 560001-001: 3-Cycle, 12-Day, No DLFC
• 560001-003: 5 CYCLE, 12 DAY, #1 INJ, 0.5 BLFC, NO DLFC
• 560002-001: 5-Cycle, Standard Motor, No Toroid, #1 Injector, 0.5 BLFC, No DLFC

Reliable When It Matters The Most These standard mechanical timers are suitable for applications where reliable and predictable regeneration is needed.

• For 24V applications: L Power is OFF during the time period selected. L Power is ON during the time period selected.
• 560001-006: 5-Cycle "L" Timer with Cover & Transformer
• 560002-004 (28 3/8", Copper/Black): 5-Cycle “L” Timer Assembly with Standard Motor, Cover & Transformer

These are specifically for lower-voltage systems and include built-in accessories so you can simply plug and play. They keep all of the regular unit’s features while producing energy saving.

SXT Electronic Timer Options

Those who desire more contemporary features should consider the SXT series where electronic timers provide improved regeneration programming and diagnostic features.

SXT Variants (24V)

• 560006-007: 3-Cycle TiCoNo DLFC
• 560006-011: #5-cycle, #1 Injector, 0.5 BLFC, No DLFC
• 560006-003: 5-Cycle, Turbine Motor
• 560006-009: 5-Cycle, Paddle Motor

The SXT devices are easy to use with digital programming. The turbine and vane-wheel models provide extra measuring accuracy for higher spread of water flows.

Injection & Flow Control Options

Every setup offers the option of running with #1 injectors and 0.5 BLFC settings. With one exception, all valves in this family have been designed without DLFC (drain line flow control) options, allowing contractors the freedom to install them as is or with field-adjustable orifices or application-specific DLFCs, if required.

Clock-Controlled Regeneration

All models feature a time clock (clock not included) to control the regeneration cycles. This controller is the perfect solution for users with constant water usage, minimizing scale build-up and optimizing water quality without the need for electronic complexity.

Adjustable Brine Settings

The brine draw and refill settings are different, model dependent, allowing customization of salt consumption based on water hardness. This increases total system efficiency and cuts power consumption.

Key Benefits:

• Reduced salt and water waste
• Prolonged system media life
• Improved water softening performance at all degrees of hardness

Use Cases & Applications

Whether you're installing a simple household application or you need a system capable of high levels of water softening, the Valumax 5600C - Clock Control series has a solution for you:

Valve users in whom low maintenance is desirable

Installers that require flexible flow and injector geometries

Engineers using digital controls in conjunction with turbine/paddle motors

Final Words

Valumax 5600C - Clock Control Product Description The Valumax clock control valves from Waterite have set the standard as the very best in high performance and endurance. Whether your need is for a basic mechanical time clock or photo flash control, the back lit SXT (time clock) or low voltage application with the low voltage SXT control, we have a solution for usage in a residential or light commercial application. Complete versatility means users can match the cycles, injector selection and motor type to their systems for peak system efficiency, durability and water softening performance.
