Understanding the Fleck 5600 Metered Water Softener System

The Fleck 5600 metered water softener represents a significant advancement in water treatment technology, featuring a sophisticated digital control system that optimizes performance while minimizing resource consumption. This system utilizes demand-initiated regeneration technology, which means it only regenerates when necessary based on actual water usage patterns. This intelligent approach distinguishes it from timer-based systems that regenerate on a fixed schedule regardless of actual need.

Key Features of the Fleck 5600 System:

• Digital Metered Control Valve: Advanced electronics monitor water usage and initiate regeneration only when needed
• Demand-Initiated Regeneration: Saves water and salt by regenerating based on actual consumption rather than time
• User-Programmable Settings: Customizable hardness levels, regeneration times, and system parameters
• High-Flow Capability: Designed to maintain consistent water pressure even during peak usage periods
• Durable Construction: Industrial-grade components designed for long-term reliability and performance
• Backlit Display: Easy-to-read digital interface showing system status and programming options

How Metered Water Softening Works:

The Fleck 5600 system continuously monitors water consumption through an integrated water meter. As water flows through the system, the meter tracks usage and calculates when the resin bed will approach exhaustion. When the predetermined capacity is reached, the system automatically initiates a regeneration cycle during pre-set hours (typically overnight) to minimize disruption. This precise metering ensures optimal salt efficiency and consistent water softening performance while extending the life of the resin bed.
