Fleck 5600 SXT 48,000 Grain is one of the best water softeners in the market owing to its excellent performance and unique specifications. It comes with many useful features and high efficiency and thus can be a perfect choice for a household with up to six members.

Intelligent Regeneration

The 5600 SXT system tracks the amount of daily water consumption in the house. And based on the calculation, the system automatically changes its settings to match the water needs. Such a system makes sure your household is never without a good supply of soft water.

Safety Float

The safety float makes sure the device stays in place and eliminates the risk of water overflowing or spill. This helps in the efficient use of water with minimal wastage.

Digital Display

You can check the water softener performance status in the digital display. You can keep track of the water consumption rate, water regeneration time, or use it for troubleshooting.  And you can modify the settings if you need to. 

Effortless Installation

This product comes with a USB drive that includes video instructions on how to install a water softener. If you have a bit of experience in plumbing then you can easily install the product. You can hire a plumber if you face any difficulty in the installation step. 

Maintenance-free

Using the 5600 SXT is very convenient and 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, thanks to the metered-regeneration technology. 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 for 72 hours without interruption. 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 itself accordingly.

The 9100 SXT model efficiently supplies soft water to a larger household without interruption. The twin tank system makes sure this model performs optimally. The machine consumes less electricity and also ensures minimal water wastage. However, it is quite expensive but is definitely worth every penny.

Meter-based Water Regeneration

The 9100 SXT model is capable of filtering 40,000 grains of hard minerals in a single tank. It regenerates only after the tank reaches its full capacity. It records the amount of water used and activates the regeneration cycle accordingly. This feature minimizes water wastage and makes sure your household is always supplied with soft water.

Twin Tanks for Continuous Soft Water Supply

One main benefit of the 9100 SXT is the twin tanks that allow you to process water from one tank while the other tank is regenerating. Simultaneous processing and regeneration are not possible in water softeners with a single tank. 

Backup Power Capacitor

The 9100 SXT runs continuously for 48 hours even 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

Fleck 9100 SXT has a flow rate of 22 gallons per minute. This rate is more than enough to supply a household with four bathrooms and even a small business. Most customers prefer the 9100 SXT for commercial purposes rather than household use. 

Eco-Friendly

Easy Installation Steps

You don’t need to call for professional help for installing the water softener, 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 that comes along with the product. 

The GE GXSF30V is an affordable water softener that is capable of softening the hardness of water like any high-tech water softener in the market. However, due to the limited flow rate, this water softener is best suited for a household with up to 3 members.
