AFWFiltersWhole House Water Softener System - Fleck 5600sxt Digital Meter with 64,000 Grain, Includes Bypass Valve & Brine Tank with Safety Float

Product delivery was good. Easy to install and works great. Good quality build. Only thing include a short 1/2 inch ID flexible line as well for the drain. Only inconvenience.

We purchased this system for our brand new house that was being built at the time. In our area we havr ridiculously hard water, this system has worked wonders. Installation was very easy. We did have a leak develop at the bypass valve and at a later date one develop at the brine tank. Both times I reached out to the company and had the new part within 2 days free of charge. If you are at all considering it, buy it.

The media could not be loaded.  It wasn't beginner friendly type of installation so you definitely still need a Professional if you're buying this independently like we did. We live in Colorado and the water in our area is super hard to the point that our showers form stalactite-looking residue within a few weeks so we were in dire need of a water softener. About 8 hours after installation and the water test came back pretty good, so it's pretty fast acting all things considered (see the test pictured).The system itself is pretty hefty, and if you're no professional and need to hire one to help you install, prepare to account for installation costs (personally, we ended up spending an extra $400 bucks on top of buying this system to have it all installed, set-up, and ready for use).Other than that, great choice, especially for bigger homes! We have this for a 5 bedroom/3.5 bathroom house and it's a good size to fit our needs.

As a water softener I really like the Fleck 5600SXT, it does a MUCH better job softening our water than our old Morton softener. However the display is cryptic and hard to use. There's no way you could use it without a detailed instructions on what each of the screens mean (or being a professional installer who knows what it all means). I used a third parties instructions to figure it out.Physical installation was easy and well thought out.

I did the research, and saved some money installing this system myself. Was pretty easy DIY with some basic skills and knowledge. So much info on YouTube and support is available with a phone call if needed. I can't comment on that because I didn't need it but I know it's available. Arrived in reasonable time, maybe could have been packaged a little better but nothing was damaged. All the components were there and in working order. I haven't had any issues although it's only been up and running for three weeks. I don't foresee any either. It is a very heavy package and recommend help as the tank with resin in it is upwards of 180lbs. Noticeable difference in my hard water after a short time. My hardness was 46 and now according to the strips they provided a zero. I will be taking a sample in to retest at cost to see if that is accurate after a little longer time in use. I will update when that info is available.

It was super easy to install. Love that the programming walks you through most of the settings you need, and how to calculate the right settings. I wish it had an exhaustive list of every code and option, but I was able to find what I needed with a quick google search… so, no big deal. It’s super easy on the salt and does an awesome job of providing softened water. It’s also not a water hog itself.

Plumber friends say the Fleck is one of the most reliable softener valves on the market. I’ve installed them in the two homes I’ve owned with zero issues.

This replaced a 17 year old water softener that had become an unreliable headache to keep functioning. I have very hard water at around 45-50 gpg and this softener does an excellent job. I'm no plumber but I was able to install this myself in a couple of hours (keeping in mind this was a replacement of an old one so the water taps were already in place in my setup). A pair of 3/4 inch sharkbite flex connectors (also available here on amazon) were all I needed to make the connections to my house water system. Also, it could just be me and while it worked immediately, it seemed like it took a good week or two before my water was really soft. But I couldn't be happier now!

Do it Youself Save Huge, Works Great !, I bought this Over sized for our needsBecause I did it myself I bought twice the needed softener size and paid Half as much as at Local storesTake your time, make sure you have everything you need first, make a list of parts needed. Dry Fit Copper pipes first, Copper comes in 2 thicknesses be sure L or M they are Not interchangableRead The Manual Completely TWICE, Hilight important things to rememberUse The Included gasket lube, I also used some Vegtable oil to avoid ripping the gasketBe carefrul when screwing on the top I over tightened slightly, And Resisted the urge to loosen it to try again.I would definitly buy again and I Do Reccomend this product

Installed my water softener myself, it was simple with the video from YouTube... not the one that it shows in the manual. Our water was brown all the time and once installed this, it took a few hours and now our water is perfectly clear 😁
