SoftPro ECO™ Water Softener for Well Water (upgraded Fleck 5600SXT)

Hi, this is Craig with Quality Water Treatment. Also known as Craig the Water Guy. I hope you're doing great today. Today, we're going to go over our Well Water KDF filter package. It includes our soft pro high efficiency water softener, which is a one inch water softener. This water softener comes with a black neoprene jacket that protects the federal tag here. So you can install it outdoors without any issues there.

On your checkout page, I should check it out when you purchase this system. You could also add the outdoor protective cover that goes over the top of the control valve, which protects the control valve from outdoor elements. So installing this system outdoors is not an issue at all.

This system will remove up to three parts per million iron and up to one part per million manganese. With the help of the KDF 85 filter that hangs down in the tank over the resin bed, will also remove up to one part per million of sulfur and also remove heavy metals like copper and lead, zinc, magnesium, and other metals. The KDF filter itself actually gets back washed when the system does a regeneration process.

So when the system does its back wash, the water goes down through this distributor tube, goes and pushes up through the resin bed, and lifts up the KDF 85 media inside this filter module here and cleans it up along with the resin at the same time. The way we achieve this is we install a higher backwash button inside the control valve to give you the proper lift to clean the resin bed, which actually gives the resin bed even a better cleaning, which is good to have when you have manganese and iron into water. But it also is enough to lift the KDF 85 media to keep it clean as well.

Life Expectancy
The life expectancy of KDF 85 media, it really does depend on how bad your water is. It also depends on your water usage. But our experiences show at 3 to 5 years. At 3 to 5 years, you simply turn the water off, release the pressure, unscrew the control valve from the tank, unscrew the KDF media from the bottom of the control valve, pop the new one in, put it back together, and you're ready to go for another 3 to 5 years.

So very little maintenance there. If you have any more questions, please contact us at our toll free number on our website or shoot us an email or use our live chat. We have trained representatives ready to help you. Thank you very much and have a great day.

Hi, this is Craig at Quality Water Treatment, also known as Craig the Water Guy. Today I want to go over our Well Plus Pro Iron Filter package with you.

This is our most popular well water package by far. And the reason why is because it will take care of multiple different contamination issues that you can find in your well water, such as high iron, high manganese, sulfur, which is that rotten egg smell that nobody likes. And it will also raise your pH as well. So it takes care of a lot of different issues. And of course, your water hardness, too. So let's go ahead and go over this real quick with you.

This particular system will remove up to 30 parts per million iron, which is a lot of iron. And it will also remove up to five parts per million of manganese and up to five parts per million of sulfur. It will also boost your pH above 7.0, regardless of whether it needs it or not. And the reason why it does that is because iron and manganese and sulfur will more readily oxidize in a high pH balanced water than it will a low pH balanced water.

So that is why the catalytic media inside this system, the catalytic media inside the system, will raise your pH. So let's go over how this system works. After your pressure tank, you're going to install these systems. The first one in line is your AIO iron filter system.

The way this system works is when the system goes to regenerate itself, it pulls an air pocket through a material on the side of the control valve. That air pocket sits right here in this tank. So as you go to use water, the water runs through this air pocket first, and that ends up oxidizing your iron, your manganese, and your sulfur so the katalox media can raise the pH to oxidize it even more and readily remove it without any issues.

The system is set up to backwash every four days. This is typical for any iron manganese sulfur type filter. It doesn't matter how much water you use. The reason why they have to be set for every four days is they continue to lift the katalox media up so the water can't channel through it, so it always has good contact so it can filter out those contaminants more readily and easier.

So every four days, the system is going to go through a backwash and clean itself. It's usually set for two AM in the morning or whatever time you want to set it for. Two AM is typical because that's when people are sleeping and nobody's using water during that time. Now that you removed all, if not most, of your iron, manganese, and sulfur from the water and raised your pH, you're going to run it through your soft pro elite high efficiency water softener.

That water runs through your resin bed, which is a 10 % crosslink resin, which is a very durable resin. And that is going to remove any remaining balance of manganese and iron from the water, as well as remove the hardness from the water. And then the water enters your home from there. So now you have nice, clean water for you and your family.

This system here is a high efficiency system, so it does use less salt and less water than your typical water softeners. Both of these systems are one inch control valves with one inch distributor tubes that the water runs in and out through these systems. So your pressure drop with these systems are very minimal in comparison to a three quarter inch system.

Now, these systems come standard with their own bypass valve. So if you need to maintain the systems, you can simply put a good bypass separately from each other to maintain the systems. The catalytic media inside this iron filter could last anywhere from 3 to 10 plus years. It really depends on how bad your water is, and it also depends on how much water you use. The resin itself can last 10 plus years.

And again, it's also depends on how bad your water is and how much water you use. Both systems come with a black neoprene jacket to protect the outer layer of the tanks. So these systems can be installed outdoors without any issues there. As you're checking out, you can actually buy a waterproof cover for these control valves. So you can install the systems outdoors because you have the waterproof covers on there now which protects the components of those control valves.

To size your system properly, use our sizing calculator as well as our well pump application on our iron filter page that you will be able to follow through to size your iron filter properly.
