AFWFiltersFleck IRON Pro 2 AFW Filters Combination Water Softener Iron Filter 5600SXT Digital Metered Valve for Whole House (48,000 Grains, Black)

Went from a two system setup to just this one. Replaced a softener and stand alone iron remover to this unit. If you have heavy iron you will absolutely have to program it to dial in it's effectiveness. After you do that, you will enjoy clear soft water that tastes good. I do have a big blue sediment filter in line before the softener and a big blue charcoal in line after the softener. Not necessary, but helps with taste. More of a bottle water taste with the charcoal. Install was easy, unit is solid and works as advertised. My neighbors have also bought the same unit after seeing the results of mine. We have heavy iron and hard water in our area.

I didnt know much about softeners, until I did a little research, and decided to pull the trigger on this one. Am I glad I did. Works fantastic, water hardness at the tap went from 6 to 0 after 1 break in regeneration cycle. Sulfur smell also completely disappeared. Great product, with very good online instructions for installing the unit, and programming the valve. Now my brother in law wants one. Very Happy so far....

Replaced an old softener with this one. I had heard good things about the control valve. The whole unit is good stuff, heavy duty, solid install. I'm happy.

I HATE this water softener. It claims that it is a combo water softener and iron filter but it does absolutely nothing for the iron content in my water. I use iron specific salt and still nothing. My sister lives on the same street as me and has a water softener and separate iron filter and has no problems so I know the problems with my water are caused by this softener not doing its job. It also comes completely disassembled. Thankfully my dad was able to put it together but if you don’t have someone handy to help you you may have to pay someone to put it together. At $600 I expected higher quality and better functionality. I guess I’m stuck with orange water until I can afford to buy a second water softener that actually works.

Videos on youtube were beneficial for self install. Works great to get rid of metallic taste that was in our newly purchased home. Quotes from water treatment professionals were $3k to $6k. Much less expensive option here to get desired results. Been installed for almost a month and very happy with it. Brine tank seems to have more water than our previous home's system. I suppose it is normal as the float keeps it from overflowing.

Heavy to move for one person but doable. You tube instructions a must! And watch a couple times! Programming control box needs easier and slower conversation. I need to reset some things because the instructions went so fast. Need to find out how to start over settings, to fine tune. Working well though.

Came as advertised and a quality product for the price. I just did a swap of my old CLUNKER softer and it took me 4hrs because of my age ( late 60s ) but if younger it would have taken me 1hr. Followed instructions and watched the video just incase. Works great and even though mine is outside by front corner I see no reason why it should not last 5 to 8yrs since it's in sun, covered with a bucket to protect the electric head controller. Very pleased with the quality. Would recommend to anyone.

Just awesome. My old softener was going bad and started to leak. We looked at expensive systems like Pelican and Kinetico. They wanted almost $5k for a full set up including softener and iron filter. After reading a bunch of reviews and Youtube vids, I decided to give this thing a whirl and save over $4k. Really glad I did.Set up was pretty easy, but I bought the shark bite water softener hoses to avoid having to do any soldering. Do yourself a favor and follow the youtube install vids for this. Super easy. Water quality is great and we actually have noticed higher water pressure.Some people complained about having to load the softener tank with resin, but I don't know why. It comes with a funnel and you just pour it in. It's like sand. Mine came with gravel too, so just make sure you pour that in first.All in all, really happy with this. Had a plumber buddy tell me this is basically the same setup as the more expensive systems and should easily last 10-15 years. The point of these things is to soften the water and remove the iron. This certainly did that. Since I could buy 8 of these for the price of the more expensive systems and it gives the same result anyway, why waste your money? Just get it and thank me later.
