After 1year this softener is still working well. No iron smell or taste in the water. Will update from time to time. Update. June 2022 I installed this unit in august of 2018. It has functioned very well removing iron and sulfur smell from the water. Occasionally we would exhaust the resin and iron and smell would return although much less intense. A regeneration would fix this. I installed an iron filter in front of this unit and we have no issues now no matter how much water we use. I also add iron out to the brine tank when I add salt to help keep the resin clean. I have owned this house since 1986 and have tried various water treatment units. We have heavy iron and this is the best water treatment combo I have found the water is taste and Oder free. And we love the soft water and my wife loves doing laundry in the soft water. No orange toilets. It’s now June 2022 and the system is working nicely. Now may 2024 softener still doing a great job no orange water. Water still soft. I add iron out to the brine tank every month due to our high iron. Installed this in 2018 so am pleased with this unit. Review: Industry standard softener. Easy DIY install. - I originally got some quotes to install a water softener/conditioner from a few full service companies like Culligan or EcoWater who were quitting me around $3k-$4k for what is essentially a fleck 5600sxt with proprietary parts you can't service yourself. I did a little research and decided I could but an industry standard unit and install it myself. Mission accomplished! And I'm all in for less than $700 including salt, extra connectors/fittings, tools, and other supplies. The unit works just as described and I was able to tell the difference in the water during my first shower to clean up from the install. ABC water made a great installation video on YouTube that was you through the whole process. It took me about 1.5 hours from start to finish. In addition to this softener you will need the following items to complete the install: - 1/2" drain line and house clamps - 1" connectors to connect the control valve to the plumbing (I suggest sharkbite lines with either an integrated or separate shut off valve to service local leaks.) - You may need a few extra connectors and pipe lengths for your specific plumbing depending on the location of the line you need to intercept. Planning out the entire install in advance to make sure you have everything you need before you start really helps make it a smooth and stress free install. Tip: Make sure you run the water at the nearest cold water tap (preferably a laundry or garage sink) for 10-15 minutes to clear out the excess resin and particulates that will wash out after the install. Wait until the water runs clear and then follow instructions for bleeding air from your pipes to avoid having water that appears milky (it's just tiny air bubbles). If you don't do this you might be in for a surprise the first time you use your water and it comes out brown and gritty. ## Features - Never Lose Programming Upgraded Fine Mesh water softener resin -- longer lasting can remove the highest hardness and some iron - Comes standard with Uprgarded Paddle Wheel Meter. 10 inch x 54 inch tank, standard square brine tank with safety float 48,000 Grain Water Softener - Upgraded fine mesh resin for removing the highest hardness & some iron in well water - Metered Water Softener Only Back Washes As Needed Saving On Salt - Made In USA Structural Tank Ships Loaded With Resin In Mineral Tank for easier installation ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004LYGBWM | | Best Sellers Rank | #391,408 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #357 in Water Softeners | | Brand | DuraWater | | Brand Name | DuraWater | | Capacity | 99 Pounds | | Container Type | Cartridge | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 373 Reviews | | Included Components | Complete system | | Installation Type | Countertop | | Item Dimensions L x W x H | 10"L x 10"W x 62"H | | Item Type Name | Fleck Water Softener 48,000 Iron Filter System | | Item Weight | 99 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Fleck | | Material | genuine iron, resin | | Material Type | genuine iron, resin | | Model Name | Iron Blaster Fine Mesh | | Model Number | 5600-sxt-48kFM | | Other Special Features of the Product | Programmable | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 10"L x 10"W x 62"H | | Purification Method | Ion Exchange | | Special Feature | Programmable | | Supported Water TDS Level Maximum (PPM) | 15 | | UPC | 729440633219 755918587449 | | Warranty Description | 60 months | ## Product Details - **Brand:** DuraWater - **Capacity:** 99 Pounds - **Included Components:** Complete system - **Installation Type:** Countertop - **Material:** genuine iron, resin - **Package Information:** Cartridge - **Power Source:** Corded Electric - **Product Dimensions:** 10"L x 10"W x 62"H - **Purification Method:** Ion Exchange - **Special Feature:** Programmable ## Images ![Fleck 5600SXT Iron Pro 48,000 Grains - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JGc1pLE7L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: When recharging ... Does this unit bypass/shut off the supply to the house or does it inject salt/brine into the drinking water?** A: The salt water/brine solution is strictly used to wash clean the resin beads inside the softener. The solution residue is then rinsed off the beads during the final stages of the regeneration process. Your drinking water/house supply then passes through the resin bed without a trace of salt/brine in it. **Q: I have very hard well water and currently use 200 lbs of salt per month to have reasonably good water. Will this system use less salt?** A: If your existing system is the old type with a timer, then this system which has a flow meter rather than the timer should use less salt **Q: I have a household with 2 adults and 4 kids. Our hardness is 50gpg, with 2ppm of iron. what system, if not this, might we need?** A: This unit works fine for my family of (4) adults and (1) child. It really depends on the amount of water you use, but I do not think you would have any problems with this unit **Q: Unit was in stock when purchased, and now 6 days later, says out of stock pending shipment. What’s the deal?** A: If you are purchasing from seller Amazon, they have plenty in stock. If you are purchasing from one of the other third party sellers, it can vary. Usually if out of stock, it is only for a couple days. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ good water quality after 6 years *by A***C on February 9, 2019* easy to install replaced my old water softener . this comes with a 1 inch connector, there is a 3/4 inch connector available and i switched this out and it was an easy connect just disconnected the hoses from the old and connected them to the new softener. this is the best softener that i have had, and i have had multiples over the 30 years the water has no sulfur or iron smell or taste. we have a heavy iron problem in this area. after one year service this softener is going strong with no iron smell or taste in water. it does use a fair ammount of salt but it is worth it for the clean water no shower or toilet stains no smell.

This uses a ton more salt than the Kenmore. I set the system up according to recommendations, like forcing a recharge at a minimum every 7 days for better resin "health" (I'm going to switch to 14 days and see if that helps). My Kenmore lasted 25 years without this feature and water was still fine at the end (I replaced it because the valve wore out and froze up). The Kenmore was a single unit - the resin tank was inside the salt tank so the whole thing took much less space. The design of the Kenmore let me put it closer to the wall too. The Kenmore had a light inside the tank so you could see how much salt was in there. Since it is in my basement I have to bring a flashlight every time I check the salt level. The Kenmore brine cycle filled the tank with water, let it set a while and backwashed the resin tank with it. This unit fills the tank (you can control how many gallons of water is pumped in which is nice) right after the recharge cycle and leaves the water in there until the next cycle. I think this is where it is using more salt since it is dissolving the salt for a week. I am currently filling with less water than recommended, but I am going to cut it down even more and see what happens. Installation was really easy. I was in a hurry and cheated by using Shark Bite hoses from HD that simply screw on to the unit and the other end just pushes onto the copper water lines. No sweating/soldering needed. The drain was slightly harder but I just used a piece of PEX for it. The unit does what it is supposed to and removes my iron and hardness. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hk/products/12741378-fleck-5600sxt-iron-pro-48-000-grains](https://www.desertcart.hk/products/12741378-fleck-5600sxt-iron-pro-48-000-grains) --- *Product available on Desertcart Hong Kong* *Store origin: HK* *Last updated: 2026-04-23*
