  • Arrived non-functional out of the box
Size: 64,000 Grains Color: 10% Resin
This unit is easy to install with the help of youtube and basic plumbing knowledge. The unit works great as a softener, however after owing this unit for more than 2 years it has never once started a cycle on its own. I have had to manually start the regen cycle every time I noticed the water getting hard. Not sure if this is a mechanical meter issue or an issue in the control unit. ... show more

  • Just do it!
Size: 48, 000 Grain Color: 8% Resin
I thought and thought on buying this for several weeks after MULTIPLE attempts to get another softener from a large US retailer whose name will remain unmentioned( but it starts with SAM) shipped to me in one piece. It literally arrived in multiple pieces TWICE. Anyway, I knew fleck was a good name and parts are readily available (but i doubt you'll need them for a long time). This unit was purchased for my mom, replacing a 30 year old FLECK unit that was no longer repairable. This unit is GREAT. Went in like a dream, works great, CAME IN ONE PIECE, and when I did have a quick question on the install they answered immediately. GREAT experience all the way around. I will be buying another for myself once I save up the bucks as mine is pushing 30 years. I live in the country, on a well, and it's the old 'run on a schedule whether you need it or not'. This new one with the ondemand regen AND the manual valve I'm sure will last me as long as I need it to. Great product,great supplier... can't go wrong. Don't buy a cheaper one from the big box store... you'll regret it in short order ... show more

  • From a water softner expert.
Size: 48, 000 Grain Color: 8% Resin
This is the best and most affordable water softner on the market. This unit will far outlast most appliances if installed and cared for properly. Mechanical controls last longer than circuit boards. It's a simple 3 step, 2 hour process, of back wash, salt rinse and salt refill. You should only regenerate when water is not being used. A 48,000 grain unit should be set for around 1000 gallons per regen. Based on average of 25 hardness and 2 parts iron. DO NOT USE PELLET SALT. Use crystal, solar or other fine granular salt so it will devolve properly and not cake up your salt tank. Hard or Soft water is not drinking water its about the same as a puddle in your yard. Water must be purified with reverse osmosis systems in order to remove the dissolved solids and be considered healthy water. ... show more

  • Works but it does require electric
Size: 64,000 Grains Color: Fine Mesh Resin
It took me a while to actually get this plumbed in but once I did the difference was noticable immediately! The hard water stains are coming off the sink and showers! I'm so excited. Cons. This DOES REQUIRE ELECTRIC. I bought this because it said it's not an electric control head but you still have to plug it in for it to turn on the back wash. Maybe leaving they need to show an electric cord in the photos on Amazon and they don't. ... show more

  • I love this water softener
My pre-install water hardness went from 20+ to 0 after install. We live in Nebraska, for reference sake, I guess? It went super smooth and I'm not a plumber. Watch videos on YouTube, plan it out and you'll be just fine. *This review is coming from a scatterbrain who over-researches(if that's a thing) and still will make 13 trips to home depot anyway. To be fair, I was running new water lines throughput the 100 year old house at the same time. If you're looking at this softener, BUY IT! :) I'm very happy with this water softener ... show more

  • Easy install, big saving, works fine so far.
Size: 48, 000 Grain Color: 8% Resin
The actual instal was easy. I had to do a great deal of soldering and adding pipes but if I had a pre plumbed setup like most people have it would literally only have taken less than an hour to install. It does it's job fine but I hate the taste and feel of softened water so the flavor rating is only because it tastes as it's supposed to. This was a $1900 savings over getting a local business to install their equipment. Great deal if you have skills. ... show more

  • First time installer and it was a piece of cake. Love the Fleck systems.
Size: 48, 000 Grain Color: 8% Resin
My elderly father wanted to replace his water softener which had just hit 20 years. I recommended a Fleck 5600 since I have one in my home. After shopping around, I located a Fleck system from Aplus Water LLC on Amazon for a very reasonable price. Read a few reviews for the company and ordered the system for my dad. This was the first time my dad and I ever installed a water softener, but it worked out very well. Fairly easy install, good equipment, and all the necessary directions. The system was exactly as described and arrived on time. Thank you Aplus Water LLC! ... show more

  • Working well so far
Size: 48, 000 Grain Color: 8% Resin
This replaced part of a 20 year old rainsoft system. You will need some experience with plumbing to do this yourself. Comes with almost everything you need. You will need a drain tube which is mentioned in the directions. Also need to know your water hardness to set the dial on the fleck meter. I like the simplicity of the mechanical meter better than the digital ones. ... show more
