Understanding the Fleck 5600 SXT Digital Metered System

The Fleck 5600 SXT digital metered water softener system represents one of the most advanced and efficient water softening solutions available for residential and light commercial applications. This system combines Fleck's proven 5600 control valve with sophisticated SXT digital metering technology to provide precise, demand-based regeneration that maximizes salt and water efficiency. The digital interface offers easy programming and monitoring capabilities, making it a popular choice for homeowners seeking reliable water softening performance.

Key Features of Fleck 5600 SXT System:

• Digital Metered Control: Tracks actual water usage for demand-initiated regeneration
• High Flow Rates: Capable of handling flow rates up to 20 GPM for whole-house coverage
• User-Programmable Settings: Easy digital interface for customizing system parameters
• Efficient Regeneration: Optimized salt usage with up to 40% salt savings compared to timer-based systems
• Durable Construction: High-quality materials designed for long-term reliability
• Multiple Capacity Options: Available in various grain capacities to match household needs

How the Digital Metered System Works:

The Fleck 5600 SXT system operates using advanced flow metering technology that precisely measures water consumption. Unlike traditional timer-based systems that regenerate on a fixed schedule, the SXT system regenerates only when the softening capacity is actually depleted. This demand-based approach ensures that regeneration occurs exactly when needed, eliminating wasted salt, water, and energy. The digital control head continuously monitors water usage and calculates remaining capacity, initiating regeneration during preset low-usage periods, typically in the early morning hours.
