Nelsen Water Solutions Fleck 5600 Water Softeners

Engineered to Last – The 5600 control valves have been engineered and internally tested to exceed NSF/ANSI 44 standards. The key to the exceptional quality of the Pentair Fleck 5600 control valve is the proven piston-seal-spacer technology. Featuring a hydraulically balanced, Teflon-coated piston with a seal and spacer to effectively control service flow and regeneration, the Pentair Fleck 5600 valve is simply one of the most reliable valves available.

TIME CLOCK, METERED, or SXT CONTROL

Choose between the SXT Electronic control or a mechanical timer control that initiates regeneration on a preset time basis or a more efficient meter system that measures the water used. Because meter systems control regeneration based on water volume instead of time, you can save significant amounts of water and electricity.

The state-of-the-art 5600 SXT electronic meter control provides your home with conditioned water based on your family’s water usage, regenerating only when needed. This environment-friendly control ensures you years of soft water, saving you money, water, and salt. A large backlit LCD display alternates between the time of day, soft water remaining, or days to regeneration.

The 5600 Meter Control – a time-tested 5600 mechanical meter control features an economical water meter engineered to monitor your family’s daily water usage, regenerating your system only when needed.  Pentair Fleck’s time-tested mechanical meter will provide years of trouble-free service. 

The Economic 5600 time clock control is as simple to set as turning a dial.

Benefits of a Nelsen Water Solutions System

In the Bathroom

Your soap and shampoo will lather better. Your hair and skin will feel noticeably cleaner, softer, and not as dry. Additionally, there will be no soap scum or mineral deposits to clean off sinks, showers, tubs, and toilets.

In the Kitchen

Dishes will clean up more easily and be spot-free, without the gray film glass gets when etched by mineral-laden wear. Plus, hands will feel softer and look better.

In the Laundry

Clothes will be softer, cleaner, and brighter and last longer. Using soft water and pure soap products increases the life of clothing, towels, and linens by up to 33%. Without hard water service issues, washing machines will last longer, too.

Plumbing and Appliances

Appliances that use water will last longer and run better. Why? Because water heaters, washing machines, and dishwashers using hard water can wear out 30% faster.
