I programmed the water softener, I chose gallons as the unit of measurement, at the end of the programming is the value on the water consumption display gallons or liters? Thanks for the explanations.

My Iron test reads 0.03 mg/l so do i add 15 to the H parameter (.03x5) or is 0.03 not even considered a 1. TIA

Thank you very much. Amazing video

What setting can i adjust that has the most effect on softness, I want the water softer than the "normal" settings for a 48K capacity system.

I have a 5600sxt. Flow rate was 0.0 per diagnostic check, so I just cleaned out the control valve assembly and made sure there were no built-up iron deposits remaining. I put it back together and, still, flow rate is 0.0. When I turn a faucet on, the flow indicator (water droplet icon) does not show up, and the "gallons remaining" number does not change. I can successfully run a regeneration cycle and everything works (brine draw, fill, etc., with a good float assembly). What is my next step? I think the control valve assembly is in good shape.

Good day, I have a problem with my Fleck 5600sxt, it does not count water consumption and therefore cleaning does not start. What could it be? Have you encountered such a problem? I would be grateful for any information. Best regards, Marek

DIYer here...Thank you for these videos!!!

Will this Fleck 5600 SXT Air Injection Iron Eater Filter work for removing colloidal iron?

Do you recommend adding lubricants to seals and spacers ?

Excellent video 👍👍👍

Our instructions say to connect the incoming water to the DOWNFLOW inlet.

Good job

Wgere can I buy these 1" supply hoses?

Thanks for posting these videos, it taught me a lot. But... I followed all the steps in both videos and no luck. When i had the drain flow button out, I did get draw. I changed the brine valve for like $15, still no luck. All the parts in the backwash injector assembly were very clean even when i first opened it up. So I ended up buying the main piston assembly with seals and spacers for $70. I honestly didn't think it would work. It did. I have brine draw again. So if you try all the tips and still get water flowing out to the salt tank during BD, as a last resort I'd suggest a new main valve. BTW, my main piston a green top and the one i bought from amz was white... it worked fine. Maybe i'm missing something there, but it just seems ok.

Hi my brine tank seems to be low as in the level. For instance the level is sitting like 2 feet below the release valve, is this normal?

On the turbine, / paddle setting, I have neither, I just bought the 5600, I have no other attachments, what would my setting be? And are any other settings I should know?

I followed these settings but my air injection head unit still spits water out of the air port before RR and then at the end before brine fill. brine fill is set to OFF and I now have all the settings the same as described in the video. any thoughts on why it insists on spewing out water for a few seconds at the start and maybe 15-30 seconds at the end of the cycle? thanks

is the guy doing the demo Marc Ribillet 😁. Also, very helpful video.

How do you turn it on

Maybe a silly question, but is it possible to back-flush/drain back into the well itself? My system is not near my septic and I know it’d be putting debris back down, but didn’t know if it would be rough to filter back through or not.. also how many gallons does the backflush typically use?

Thanks for the video, What to do if the controll valve electronic no longer function (broken) ?

Is this a 9 x 48 tank? is that why a 40 min air draw? plus does the air draw push most of the water out of the tank in that time?

should the softener or AIO be regenerated first? does it matter?

What is the lifespan of the 5600sxt? I ask because I currently have one installed in my home, which is about 15 years old. So, how does one determine the condition of the unit. I've never had any errors with the unit in 15 years, but is it time to swap out for a new 5600sxt. If I do decide to swap out, should I buy the entire device, or do you think I would only need a tank? Thank you for any help you can provide.

Thanks for the video, I saw my tank was full and just hit regen in panic. So that did nothing but while it was trying to do its thing i was able to pull the float system and syphon almost all of the water from the brine tank, so even if its not fixed at least it wont overflow before I can get a technician out!

Well done!

Any chance to get a model 9500 programming help

I have the same unit that the clock is set to 24 hours instead of 12. How I can change to 12 hours.( I can not see the pm icon)

First of all, thank you for making it clear about the 12:01.......I tried with the correct time of day with no success. The rest is programmed ok but how do you program the NUMBER OF GALLONS BEFORE REGENERATON? Mine just has four dashes. - - - - What does that mean and how do I program it?

Thank you very much!!! Took a while to find your video. Everyone else was telling me to flow out lines that are probably blocked. Did two regular regeneration without using a shop vac to suck out the water to be below the float. I have three tanks total, two control heads but I believe the one that looks most similar to yours is a double unit and step 2 is brine/rinse. Jumped to that and see movement down in the brine well which I wasn’t getting before. Might not be fixed but thanks for providing an alternative troubleshooting method that sounds like I should have tried first if it’s that common

Can you replace the manual valve control with a digital one?

During the last four years, we have had no problems with the same model, but now we are experiencing continuous drain, and softener tank is completely empty, would it be possible for you to suggest any solutions?

Much appreciated

Thanks, This worked well! Very thankful.

What if don't know how hard your water is?

Can I adjust the hardness later on?

What size are the O-rings?

Please, this is a good video telling me nearly all I need to know. But what precisely should I see inside the tank before, during and after changing the media. If the time has come to change and I shine my light will I see a residual level of calcite or am I seeing internal tank structure? What am I actually seeing when the tank appears to have some calcite in it up to about a foot from the bottom? How much water should I remove before adding more calcite? Just above the shadow of existing calcite? Fill with new calcite to within six inches from top of tank? Thanks much. I'm about to service my filter in my crawl space and want to be assured of the proper procedure.

Why do you not recommend using the smaller mesh screen in the brine line kit? 9:31

Do these units require periodic maintenance and is so how often? TY Great Vid BTW!

Is the turbine valve necessary if it’s an AIO that recharges every 3 days anyway?

Should i depressurize and bypass when going on vacation?? Say 7 days ?

Does Fleck sell a wrench to remove the head assembly? I have an oler model, and even after releasing pressure, it's on too tight to unscrew by hand.

Are the valve heads interchangeable for a softener to an aio? For example, could you use the 5600sxt softener valve for an aio if you reconfigure the program and add a check valve where the brine draw would connect?

Is this the same type of valve that’s used for an air injector for iron filters as well as softeners?

I am so confused! On the hardness setting. Our hardness is 2.5 grains per gallon. I understand that three is the maximum you want. Our iron is 0.15 ppm. I understand that 0.3 is the maximum healthy. These numbers are so different from your description. Am I misunderstanding something? Thanks.

Excellent video. I had to disconnect my water softener so I can get my garage floors painted. So when I went to go put the water softener back in I need a directions on how to set up. The best I've seen thus far.

Had the 64,000 unit, it has run 2 cycles since it was installed about 3-4 weeks ago, last cycle a couple days ago. Level fills to about 1100, now down to 90 in 2 days, also says "rc" with blinking water faucet, what's going on? Of course always on weekend when you can't call anyone.

Question, My plunger on my Aquasure system is very stiff and doesn't want to move up and down. It is a fairly new system. I'm afraid it is so stiff that it may break the plastic wheel. How easily should they move up and down?

You skipped an important setup step there bud. You set the people thing, but left out the gallons of capacity setting from the Clarke Chart. Should have set dial ring to 14 gal, lined up with the white dot there (based on the 4 people and 20 hardness) --- you left the gallons of capacity at 9 gal, not right. You don't know what you are doing.
