In the softening process, hardness minerals are “exchanged” for sodium, giving softened water an elevated sodium content which is often viewed negatively regarding human health. That's why softeners are often sold along with a reverse osmosis drinking water system that remove the sodium the softener puts in.

All come standard with a Fleck stainless 3/4" or 1" FNPT stainless steel bypass valve, 25 feet of drain tubing, brine tank (with safety shutoff) and media installation funnel.

A softener is definitely the best product for removal of “hardness” ions calcium and magnesium which cause scale buildup in plumbing, staining of fixtures, and spotting of glassware in dishwashers and surfaces of recently washed cars. Soap does not lather well in hard water and hot water appliances exposed to hard water suffer a buildup of deposits, reducing their effectiveness and shortening their lifespan. Softeners cure those problems.

So far so good! Customer service great and site is very well laid out and easy to use. So far every part I've needed has been i stock. Thanks Voomi.

All use the reliable Fleck 5600 metered SXT control. Fleck 5600 control valves are easy to service, and parts are easily available and inexpensive. Metered, on-demand regeneration, standard on all units, saves salt and water. It adjusts automatically to changes in water usage. It can also be easily programmed for short service runs, desirable for iron removal from well water.

While softeners are most often used to remove calcium and magnesium from water, in some conditions they can also remove iron, manganese, lead, and even ammonia.

Other negatives include softeners' salt consumption (the owner has to buy and handle the heavy softener salt) and the aesthetics of softened water which sometimes has a "slick" feel that many people do not like.

Softeners don't remove chlorine, they don't treat odors, and they're not good at filtering particulates like sand and iron rust.

In regard to the environment, adding sodium to waste water can present a water recycling problem for municipal water departments. Softeners are banned or their use is severely regulated in some areas.

Thank you for having all these small crazy little parts! I can only imagine the organization of all of this! You are appreciated!

All of our softeners include clear installation instructions, valve reprogramming instructions, and a complete record of how your unit is set up.

I found exactly what I needed to replace the compressor of my home HVAC unit, thank you for your service and I will definitely do business with your company again.

Residential water softeners are important water treatment devices that protect water heaters and appliances, make soap lather better, prevent scale buildup on fixtures, and generally make water more pleasant and life more enjoyable. They are not water filters, but ion exchangers. They trade sodium for calcium and magnesium, the minerals that make water “hard.”

We sell good, solid, basic softeners at a reasonable price. We purposely make them not as fancy as they could be. The softeners on this page feature the old faithful Fleck 5600 control valve (introduced initially in 1980, with basic improvements over the years, and still going strong), equipped with the latest Fleck SXT electronic programming system. The reliable and proven 5600 control is designed to perform flawlessly for decades. We ship the softener pre-programmed for optimal performance on your water and with consideration for the size and special needs of your application, but we also include full control valve programming instructions in case you want to change the default settings. All parts of our softeners are heavy-duty standard industry equipment. There is nothing trendy or irreplaceable and there are no hidden costs or extras.

This valve features a dual-check system to prevent cross-flow of hot and cold water, ensuring consistent temperature control. Its tamper-resistant locking nut prevents unintentional adjustments, securing the set temperatures.
