Fleck 29166 Meter Cover Assembly Electronic 3/4" with impeller (OBSOLETE)

The Fleck 29166 is the 3/4 inch electronic meter cover assembly with impeller originally used on Fleck 4600, 5600 and 5800 control valves. WrekinWater no longer has this exact part available, as it has been superseded by an updated meter assembly and meter cable combination. If your 4600, 5600 or 5800 valve has a faulty meter, contact WrekinWater and we can point you to the current replacement.

Signs you need this part

• Your softener's display isn't counting down usage the way it used to.
• Regenerations are happening on a fixed schedule rather than based on actual water use.
• The impeller inside the meter cover is jammed, worn, or missing a blade.
• The meter cover housing itself is cracked or leaking slightly.

This meter cover's impeller spins with the flow of water and sends that signal to the electronic control, which uses it to calculate exactly when the resin bed needs regenerating. Once the impeller wears or the cover is damaged, that usage data becomes unreliable, so the valve can either miss regenerations it should be running or trigger them unnecessarily, wasting salt and water.

WrekinWater, a family run business in Bettisfield, Shropshire with an Excellent Trustpilot rating from over 50,000 customers served, can advise on the correct current-production parts where an original component like this has been discontinued.

How to fit it

1. Turn off or bypass the water supply and press the button to relieve trapped pressure.
2. Disconnect the meter cable from the control head before removing the old cover.
3. Undo the screws or clips securing the meter cover assembly to the valve body.
4. Remove the old cover and impeller, and check the housing for any debris or scale.
5. Fit the replacement meter assembly and reconnect the meter cable firmly.
6. Restore the water supply and check the display registers usage as water flows.
