Came pre-loaded with 10% resin. I upgraded the cheap, 1/2" plastic drain hose barb to brass 5/8" as I have a fairly long run to the discharge site. I used two 3/4" braided stainless water heater hoses for connection. Ensure the bends aren't too sharp or they'll start to flatten out and may partially restrict water flow. If that happens you will definitely notice it when running water inside your home. That said, I haven't noticed any pressure difference. Was in the shower last night and had my wife flush the toilet, I still didn't notice any fluctuation. It's fairly easy to program, but I highly recommend you read the manual a time or two first. You will need to know the hardness of your water before programming. Use quality test strips, or get a digital total dissolved solids meter like I have on my RO filters. I used both and went with the average. Alternatively, you can always send a water sample to a lab for testing. Once operational, it took a couple of days to feel the full effect of the softened water. Last I checked, it's producing water with 20 ppm TDS (according to the test strip). In the past I've used salt pellets. I've read that they can possibly cause issues with gumming things up. This time I went with crystal salt. Time will tell. The softener has been online for only one week and I still have 2000 gallons to go before the next regeneration which I have set at 12:00 midnight. This will be its first auto regen. At this rate, it appears it will need to regen once every three weeks or so. But then, it's just me and my wife using it. I can already feel a difference in my skin, it's not nearly as dry and itchy feeling. I really like this softener. I believe the price is very good compared to some of the others out there and would definitely buy it again. I highly recommend it. Hope this helps. Review: Gave up on Culligan and went with this! - Item arrived quickly and well packaged with everything needed except the plumbing parts relevant to my install situation (expected). After a quick assessment and run to the hardware store to get the parts needed for the install, I began. The install was quick and painless. This instructions were very clear including the programming. Make sure you follow the instructions including the start-up portion to the letter or you'll be stuck with some nasty brown water (associated with new resin beads) in the plumbing lines like I did (I know I was hasty). Once I realized my mistake, I back-tracked a bit and reprogrammed and then followed the set up instructions. Went through its first recharge and off we went. I set it to run another recharge that night, and flushed all the lines in the house the next morning (including a flush of the water heater). All is good. Not a single leak from any of the fittings, silky smooth soft water throughout the home, and a quiet little water softener dutifully doing its job in my garage. No complaints whatsoever, and now I'm not a Culligan hostage anymore with spotty customer service and low-skilled technicians. I can fix it myself, right, the first time with parts readily available. ## Features - Upgraded Resin Technology: Features 10 percent cross linked commercial grade cation resin for enhanced durability and longer lasting performance, especially in chlorine present water conditions - Digital Metered Control System: Fleck 5600 SXT on demand digital metered water softener with meter based regeneration that measures water usage and regenerates only when needed for maximum efficiency - Complete System: Fleck 5600 SXT control valve, black mineral tank (12 x 48) ships partially loaded, 2.0 cubic feet of resin, includes 14"x36" brine tank with safety float to prevent overfilling, 1" plastic bypass - Hard Water Treatment Capacity: 64,000 grain capacity system removes calcium and magnesium through ion exchange process, extending the life of plumbing and appliances while improving soap efficiency - DIY Installation Support: Written and video instructions for installation and programming, typically requires 1-2 hours with basic plumbing skills ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075XTWHK6 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #197,946 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #151 in Water Softeners | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (208) | | Date First Available | September 26, 2017 | | Included Components | complete system | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 21.9 pounds | | Item model number | 64k-56SXT-10 | | Manufacturer | DuraWater | | Part Number | 64k-56SXT-10 | | Product Dimensions | 52 x 12 x 12 inches | | Size | 64,000 | ## Images ![Fleck 5600 SXT Metered 64,000 Grain Water Softener, 10% resin | 10% Commercial Grade Cation Resin, Partially Loaded - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71JGc1pLE7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: How much salt and water use for each regeneration?** A: On average it will use 8 lbs of salt and 60 gals of water per regeneration. The regeneration cycles are adjustable, so salt and water usage can very, depending on the programming. The folks at Aplus Water **Q: Is a reverse osmosis system in conjunction with this system recommended?** A: My water comes from a well worse than city water here in AZ. If you want to remove all the nasty stuff out of your drinking water chlorine, amonna, and all the chemical runoff from the rain that brings even more stuff that a water softener doesn't remove. This softener is awesome happy with the buy. I also added 3 carbon 10in block whole home filters I replace every 6 months after the water softener and the water is amazing. I have a 6 stage reverse osmosis in the kitchen running through my fridge. The Di Filter in the reverse osmosis is what makes the ice cubes crystal clear. So to answer your question Yes you do because it does not remove everything out of your water. Just by adding a softener does not make your water safe it just removes most not all hard minerals. Hope this helps. **Q: What is the footprint of the system?** A: The softener tank diameter is 12 inches. The salt tank is 14x14. The footprint with the salt tank next to the softener would be approximately 26 inches. The salt tank does not have to be right next to the softener. It can be several feet away. The folks at Aplus Water. **Q: Is it alright to install this system outside in the yard? located down in houston, tx** A: Not the best location for it, but if you have it shaded it should be ok. The life of the unit will drop with having it outside ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very satisfied with the 5600 SXT 64K *by J***R on February 25, 2023* This replaced the old style manual 5600 so was pretty easy to plumb in.

We have had our water softener for about 5 months and it is working great. Dishes are spotless, skin and hair feels much better. The biggest surprise is how much softer our hair feels, it's amazing. I did my own plumbing and created a french drain outside. Total spent for everything was around $1200. The 2 bids I received where for $7600 and $4200. Very happy we did it ourselves, everything was done correctly and the water softener is inside in the storage room right next to the water heater. The other guys wanted to put it outside in a small shed. I added my own bypass system using 3 shutoff values, so disconnecting this water softener is seamless. Having my own bypass allows us to bypass the water softening process while we using our outside Bibs to water plants and add water to our fish pond. The guy selling the $7600 system had no idea how I would use my 4 outside bibs to go back to hard water for this purpose of adding water to the fish pond or watering plants. He contacted his boss, Boss man did not even know. The $4200 system guy did know. The Flech 5600SX does come with a built in bypass in the head, but you have to keep the head on to use the bypass, to replace the system you would have to shut off your water to the entire house. The only downside is that I find I really do not like the taste of soft water - did not realize it would be so different, I guess I like my minerals for water taste? I attached a picture on my bypass and a picture of the water softener system ## Frequently Bought Together - Fleck 5600 SXT Meter Demand Water Softener Grain Capacity 10% Commercial Grade Cation Resin (64,000, Black) - Culligan WH-HD200-C Whole House Water Filter System 1” Inlet/Outlet – Improve Tap Water Taste, Remove Sediment, Protect Appliances - iSpring WSP50ARB Spin Down Sediment Water Filter, Reusable with Touch-Screen Auto Flushing Module and Built-in Housing Scraper, Brass Top Clear Housing, 50 Micron --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/70101441-fleck-5600-sxt-metered-64-000-grain-water-softener-10](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/70101441-fleck-5600-sxt-metered-64-000-grain-water-softener-10) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-08-30*
