## Questions & Answers

**Q: When recharging ... Does this unit bypass/shut off the supply to the house or does it inject salt/brine into the drinking water?**
A: The salt water/brine solution is strictly used to wash clean the resin beads inside the softener. The solution residue is then rinsed off the beads during the final stages of the regeneration process. Your drinking water/house supply then passes through the resin bed without a trace of salt/brine in it.

**Q: I have very hard well water and currently use 200 lbs of salt per month to have reasonably good water. Will this system use less salt?**
A: If your existing system is the old type with a timer, then this system which has a flow meter rather than the timer should use less salt

**Q: I have a household with 2 adults and 4 kids. Our hardness is 50gpg, with 2ppm of iron. what system, if not this, might we need?**
A: This unit works fine for my family of (4) adults and (1) child. It really depends on the amount of water you use, but I do not think you would have any problems with this unit

**Q: Unit was in stock when purchased, and now 6 days later, says out of stock pending shipment.  What’s the deal?**
A: If you are purchasing from seller Amazon, they have plenty in stock.  If you are purchasing from one of the other third party sellers, it can vary.  Usually if out of stock, it is only for a couple days.

    good water quality after 6 years
  

*by A***C on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2019*

easy to install replaced my old water softener .  this comes with a 1 inch connector, there is a 3/4 inch connector available and i switched this out and it was an easy connect just disconnected the hoses from the old and connected them to the new softener.  this is the best softener that i have had, and i have had multiples over the 30 years  the water has no sulfur or iron smell or taste. we have a heavy iron problem in this area.after one year service this softener is going strong with no iron smell or taste in water.  it does use a fair ammount of salt but it is worth it for the clean water no shower or toilet stains no smell.After 1year this softener is still working well. No iron smell or taste in the water. Will update from time to time.Update. June 2022 I installed this unit in august of 2018. It has functioned very well removing iron and sulfur smell from the water. Occasionally we would exhaust the resin and iron and smell would return although much less intense. A regeneration would fix this. I installed an iron filter in front of this unit and we have no issues now no matter how much water we use. I also add iron out to the brine tank when I add salt to help keep the resin clean. I have owned this house since 1986 and have tried various water treatment units. We have heavy iron and this is the best water treatment combo I have found the water is taste and Oder free. And we love the soft water and my wife loves doing laundry in the soft water. No orange toilets.  It’s now June 2022 and the system is working nicely.Now may 2024 softener still doing a great job  no orange water. Water still soft. I add iron out to the brine tank every month due to our high iron. Installed this in 2018 so am pleased with this unit.

    Industry standard softener. Easy DIY install.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2020*

I originally got some quotes to install a water softener/conditioner from a few full service companies like Culligan or EcoWater who were quitting me around $3k-$4k for what is essentially a fleck 5600sxt with proprietary parts you can't service yourself. I did a little research and decided I could but an industry standard unit and install it myself. Mission accomplished! And I'm all in for less than $700 including salt, extra connectors/fittings, tools, and other supplies. The unit works just as described and I was able to tell the difference in the water during my first shower to clean up from the install.ABC water made a great installation video on YouTube that was you through the whole process. It took me about 1.5 hours from start to finish.In addition to this softener you will need the following items to complete the install:- 1/2" drain line and house clamps- 1" connectors to connect the control valve to the plumbing (I suggest sharkbite lines with either an integrated or separate shut off valve to service local leaks.)- You may need a few extra connectors and pipe lengths for your specific plumbing depending on the location of the line you need to intercept.Planning out the entire install in advance to make sure you have everything you need before you start really helps make it a smooth and stress free install.Tip: Make sure you run the water at the nearest cold water tap (preferably a laundry or garage sink) for 10-15 minutes to clear out the excess resin and particulates that will wash out after the install. Wait until the water runs clear and then follow instructions for bleeding air from your pipes to avoid having water that appears milky (it's just tiny air bubbles). If you don't do this you might be in for a surprise the first time you use your water and it comes out brown and gritty.

    It does of good job filling it's primary role of a water softener. I'd buy it again.
  

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2015*

I knew nothing about wells, filtering water, plumbing, salt, nada... I plumbed this in with Pex a couple months ago and no I didn't get it right the first day, or week, took about a month or two slowly improving it a little at a time. I had clear water that was hard and turned everything orange and it had a sulfer smell. After setting this up the water was softer, but the orange stains were still occuring and the smell was still there. I added a filter that ionized the iron before this system. The filters are about $80, but it helped. Then I switched to a charcoal filter for my sediment filter 5 micron. All this did slow down my water pressure and I was close to a solution, still getting the sulfer smell but the staining was much better. Finally out of desperation I took the well cap off and dumped some fairly potent bleach water down the well shaft. It was something like half gallon of bleach to 3 gallons of water. I was too lazy to unscrew all four bolts on the well head, they were rusty. I just unscrewed one and dumped the water slowly down the bolt hole. I was hoping to kill the iron feeding bacteria that creates the sulfer smell. I bypassed all my filters for this and ran the water from the ground up through the pipes into the holding tank, bypassed all filtering softening, and ran the sink until bleach smell started. Then shut it all down and let it sit for a couple hours. Then I flushed it throughly until the bleach smell was completely gone, took awhile at least 150 gallons to flush it. That was 2 months ago and my water is like bottled water. I think I'm going to do that bleach trick a couple times a year, it seems to last awhile. I got all kinds of crud out of the pipes. I'm pretty sure my concentration of bleach was drastic. I might cut that down a bit on subsequent tries. Basically now that I got it all configured it's working great. Don't expect this system to clean the iron/sulfer out, it might help a little but don't expect much in that department. Overall this system is playing it's part as expected. Nothing has broke and it seems adequate. I'm guessing the salt bin will go first, but it looks cheap to replace. I only have a small cabin in the woods and it sits a lot not being used.
