Best Fleck Water Softener Reviews

The Fleck 5600 SXT 48,000 Grain Water Softener is one of the user favorites due to its excellent performance and unique specifications. Coming with many useful features and high efficiency, this water softener can be a perfect choice for a household with up to six members.

Intelligent Regeneration

The 5600 SXT system calculates the amount of water consumption in the house. And based on the metric, the system automatically changes its settings to match the pace of the water needs.

Safety Float

This water softener ensures minimal wastage of water or its minerals. The safety float makes sure the device is in place and removes the risk of water overflowing or spill. 

Digital Display 

You can easily check the system performance status in the digital display. You can keep track of the water consumption rate, water regeneration time, or any other codes for troubleshooting. 

Effortless Installation

The product comes with a USB drive that includes video instructions on how to install the water softener. Anyone with a bit of experience in plumbing can easily install the product. Of course, you can hire a plumber if you have any difficulty in the installation step. 

Maintenance-free

Fleck has designed the 5600 SXT to be maintenance-free. You only need to do the salt refills every few months. The regeneration rate adjusts automatically according to water usage in the house. This means that you don’t even need to remember turning the device off, as it stops regenerating water if it is not in use. 

Continuous Performance

In case there is a power cut, the control valve keeps the device running continuously for 72 hours. A power failure will not change the settings of the water softener. In case of a power failure for more than 72 hours, you simply need to input the date and the system will program accordingly.

The Fleck 7000 SXT water softener is similar to the 5600 SXT model, but has a higher flow rate and is suitable for larger homes. This water softener is suitable for both household use as well as light commercial use. The product is a perfect match for meeting your high water demand. 

Intelligent Regeneration

Like the 5600 SXT, the 7000 SXT water softener also calculates the amount of water consumption daily. And based on the readings, the system automatically modifies its settings to meet the water demand.

Meter-based Water Regeneration

The control valve activates the water regeneration only when its tank reaches its full filter limit. This technology helps to minimize water and minerals wastage. With the Fleck 7000 SXT, you can save up to 40% more salt than any other water softeners on the market. 

LCD screen

This device comes with a touch-enabled LCD screen. You can track the system status in this display such as water consumption rate, and water regeneration time among others.

Double rinse during Regeneration

The Fleck 7000 SXT model facilitates backwashing the tank twice during water regeneration. This enables the salt to clear out most of the particles from the tank as compared to other water softener models. Although some particles may still be intact, the meter will still show the maximum capacity reading and your water will not get hard for a long time.

Manual Adjustment

You can also adjust the regeneration cycle manually to minimize water usage. This feature adds to system reliability and also prevents motor damage.

High Backwash Flow Rate

This device has a flow rate of 15 gallons per minute and thus you can use it with both 1 inch as well as 1.25-inch pipes. The control valve delivers excellent performance and efficiency when it comes to water softening. 

Low Electricity Bill

This water softener is eco-friendly and runs on a low voltage for such machines. And even if the water regeneration takes place once a day, it will just add an average of 5 dollars per year.  

Two days Power Backup

Fleck 7000 SXT water softener will continue the regeneration cycle for 48 hours even in case of power failure. You just have to make sure the salt tank is at the water level at all times.

When reviewing the Fleck water softeners, we definitely didn’t want to miss out on the 9100 SXT model. Fleck has designed this model keeping efficiency as a prime feature. You may ask how! Well, the twin tank system is the answer to it. This system ensures minimal water wastage and energy consumption while also delivering excellent performance. 

However, it is quite expensive than the other two models we reviewed in the above section. But the 9100 SXT is definitely worth the money and your consideration.

Meter-based Water Regeneration

The 9100 SXT model filters 40,000 grains of hard minerals in a single tank and regenerates water only after the tank reaches its filtering capacity. It keeps track of the amount of water used and activates the regeneration cycle accordingly. Such a system helps to minimize water wastage and makes sure your household is always supplied with soft water.

One main benefit of the 9100 SXT is that it has twin tanks so that you can process water for use from one tank while the other tank is regenerating. This simultaneous processing and regeneration are not possible in water softeners with a single tank. 

Backup Power Capacitor

Just like the 7000 SXT model, the 9100 SXT also runs continuously for 48 hours when there is a power failure. The system keeps track of the water usage in the household and continues the regeneration cycle accordingly. 

High Flow Rate

The flow rate in the Fleck 9100 SXT is 22 gallons per minute which should be enough to supply your household and even a small business. In fact, most customers prefer the 9100 SXT for commercial purposes rather than for household use. Moreover, this model consumes very less electricity than other water softeners so that you save energy as well as money. 

High Filtering Capacity

Each tank of the 9100 SXT has a capacity of filtering 40,000 grains of hard minerals, making it a total of 80,000-grain capacity system. This feature makes sure that your household is always supplied with soft water. Moreover, you can process water as well as continue regeneration simultaneously in this product. 

Easy Installation Steps

There is a USB video guide in the packaging which will guide you thoroughly through the steps on installing this water softener. You don’t need to call for professional help although you can keep it as an option. Installing the twin tank is similar to installing a single-tank water softener. Just follow the guide.
