Fleck 5600 SXT Air Injection Iron Eater Filter. Removes Iron, Manganese, H2S. Black Series. 1.5 cubic ft

Even with some plumbing experience I was a little intimidated to install this but the instructions were very detailed and the support is the best. I’ve had this for a couple months and if I have a question I call support a real person answers. They are always knowledgeable of the product and helpful. The product itself works great. I have heavy iron and sulfur water and this cleans it up perfectly. It does need to regenerate nightly but it’s worth the cost for clean water. I was told by support a recharge is good for up to 500 gallons so a smaller household might be able to recharge every other day but they recommend not more than 3 days. Overall it was well worth the investment.

Wish I had bought years ago. Cleaned water overnight. Huge improvements for very hard well water!

Can not say enough good about this product . Took all the smell , bad taste and staining out of my water in south west Florida , which is a statement . Other products I tried advertise that but this one did it waited over 8 months to write a review to make sure still kicking myself for not finding this one sooner , would personally recommend for sulfur , manganese , I didn't have iron stain but people say it works for that as well .

This is a good product and is functioning as advertised. NOTE: If you have a septic field and use this unit in conjunction with a water softener do not rely on the default settings as this could overwhelm your drain field. The default settings are: regenerate daily for 15 minutes. This will potentially use between 75 to 120 gallons of water. If your water softener regenerates on the same day and uses a similar amount of water you could potentially drain over 200 gallons of water into your tank. Couple this with washing machine, dishwasher, toilet and showers and baths you will overwhelm your tank(s) which will stir up the waste and propel solids into your drain field. I have hard water with iron and have it set on every 2 days and 10 minutes with good results and no iron in toilets or laundry.

I had this unit for two weeks and it has worked as described. I took about a week for the hot water to clear up but since then no iron or sulfates. Good suds in the tub and sinks.

I bought this carbon filter setup with a healthy dose of scepticism, knowing that our water is about half iron. Well, maybe not half, but enough to stain our sinks and toilets in a few days if untreated, and it is distinctly orange out of the tap, even after going through 2 filters, a 5 micron and a 1 micron.I installed the system and let it soak with water for 24 hours as directed in the installation manual.I also drained my water heater and flushed it a few times.After the 24 hours and the tank had been flushed as per the directions I opened the bypass valves and the change was immediate, at least for the cold water. No sulfur smell and no orange color.The hot water looked very murky so I drained the tank again and flushed it twice, and then the hot water was perfect like the cold.Supposedly the carbon will last 5 years, and that is great. I do wish the company would include directions on how to empty the tank, how much carbon to put in it, what kind of carbon (I have found out what typy, and how to suspend the 1" pipe in the tank.I'll contact the company and get that squared away long before I need to replace the carbon.No more schlepping salt and dumping it in a softner and no more worrying about what water faucet to use when watering the gardt.Highly recommend!

Had a water softener and pre-filter 5micron , continuous maintenance , hassle with bags of salt in a very small area .Softener valve locked up and broke , never really solved iron problem , searched for alternatives for iron only problems without adding salt to water ( not needed, not hard water ). came across the 5600sxt air injection with natural catalyst that removes iron in suspension and also removes magnesium and some pesticides / chemicals through capture and backwash. Worth a shot because it can also be used with a salt reservoir if it was needed later , but it is not needed.Installed after pre-filter , added another clear body 20" post filter to be able to monitor condition of non dissolved solids . Performed initial setup as per instructions and after 24 hr set in first cycle then opened into system , instant success .NOTE: Installation , some plumbing knowledge is definitely needed.Water taste great , no discoloration at all and suprisingley not as loud as the softener used to be .The softener always left an oily film and strange flavor to the water , it tested fine but was not great .This new set up is much better than it ever was !

Bought it in october 2021, zero problems so far. No sulfur smell. However, now , we are getting a slight smell. Probably the media needs cleaning ? I will contact the support team to find out.
