AFWFilters Built Fleck 48,000 water softener system with 5600sxt digital metered valve 1" yoke

#1 the best part of ordering from Aplus Water LLC is the customer service, Heather is The person that helped when my shipment had some damage, as you can imagine I just spent a good chunk of dough on this equipment and seeing the condition the boxes showed up in got me just a tad irritated, after a few pics and a call to Aplus they shipped out what was needed to correct the shipping companies neglect .Thanks to heather we are up and running, I ordered 2 water softeners and an iron filter system. all three units are easy to program, easy to install with some basic plumbing knowledge and a trip to the hardware store, and our water looks clear, is softer, and doesn't have that mineral taste or smell anymore👍👍👍😎

How I rate: 1 star-don't like at all, 2 stars-it's ok (meh), 3 stars-impressed (I like it), 4 stars-pretty darn good (I love this), 5 stars-wow (indispensable in my life)Had this water softener system installed for 3 months now. Wanted to give it time to see how well it performed-if it would become a 5 star rated item or stay at 4 star. First off, my old water softener (a GE model from Home Depot) stopped working within 2 months and after trying to fix various things with it for almost a year-I gave up; and so it sat outside for 4 years. Fast forward, installation of the Fleck 5600SXT and 48,000 grain water softener tank was easy, setup was very easy, and regeneration was quick. How quick? Got it installed late afternoon before the sun went down, and was able to take a shower with conditioned/soft water that evening. Since it had been a few years dealing with hard water, we had to get used to soft water on our skin again. We all know that feeling-just too slippery at first, but you get used to it. Immediately I did notice a difference in how clean the clothes where when pre-rinsing by hand and definitely when the laundry comes out of the wash. For anyone who has had to pre-rinse baby poop or food out of clothes, you will appreciate how good this water softener works. I've read and heard over and over that it doesn't matter how good your washer may be if you have hard water-your clothes just won't be all that clean. It's true. Having purchased top of the line Samsung washer/dryer set last October and seeing how those darn food and baby poop stains just won't come out, this water softener system has made all the difference.Photos are attached to show a poop explosion on my baby's onesie, how it looks with just water rinsing, and how it looks with a bit of baby soap used as a prewash. Anyone who has hard water and has tried to wash out baby poop knows-that baby poop leaves a bright yellow stain and you're just thinking "it's ruined. just toss it. not worth trying to clean it out. didn't work last time. just toss it. wait, how much is all this costing me?" Again, this water softener has made a world of difference in our household water-no more white lime scale by the frig water dispenser, no more hard water spots by the faucets/mirror, cleaner laundry/clothes, and of course feeling cleaner after a shower or brushing your teeth!

Not hard to install. Took me and my helper 3.5hrs with very basic plumbing skills. Could be even faster if I can get all the parts and tubes ready before I start. Overall very good prod. And it did work very well

Our only regret is that we did not purchase this water filtration system years ago! I never believed folks who said that installing a water softener would make a difference, however I was wrong! We noticed the difference the very first time we showered, and we still marvel at how much softer the water is. You really can "feel" the softness in the water -- as strange as that sounds! Our clothes are much whiter, and while I can't say I notice a huge difference in the amount of shampoo and/or soap we are using, we can, and do use less than before. We noticed the change in our shower and bathrooms -- no more gritty orangey grit! As the heading states -- we should have made this purchase years ago. My husband is very handy so he did the installation himself following the directions and supplemented by a few YouTube videos. I *made* him watch the YouTube videos -- I think it's a male thing - similar to asking for directions -- and the installation took a full day. But that is because we had to run the drainage hose from one side of the basement to the other so that it would reach the sump pump. However there were no glitches in the hook up, and it is definitely something you can do by yourself. Just don't buy valves at Home Depot -- if you need plumbing valves go to a plumbing supply place -- the first set of valves we installed leaked -- and that was no fault of this system. Our local plumber told us that Home Depot's materials are subpar and he was correct. I'm not out to attack Home Depot -- just telling you what happened in our case. And, to their credit Home Depot gave us back the money for the valves without any problem,. Anyway, this is a great system and we highly recommend it!

This is an excellent deal. A family member works for a water service provider and highly recommends Fleck products for quality and durability. Comes fairly complete, you just need to add water hook up lines and 1/2in drain lines. There is an excellent video on YouTube produced by the vender that walks you through s step by step install process. Anyone with comfortable, but amateur plumbing skills can easily install the system, but a plumber indicated it would be about $200 if we wanted him to do it. We did run into one small hiccup with a piece being sent that was for a larger system rather than the one we had. A quick message to the vender generated a personal call to apologize for the oversight and a new piece was on the way with absolute minimum delay. I feel very comfortable that any help or after sales support we may need will be prompt, couteous and professional. I felt very comfortable in recommending them to any potential buyer.
