What is Reddit's opinion of AFWFilters Built Fleck 48,000 water softener system with 5600sxt digital metered valve 1" yoke?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

What you have is a Culligan 8" Medallist Series Softener, 30,000 Grain Water Softener. You could probably go to your local dealer and purchase a seal kit and replace it yourself, and if the resin tank is still good you would be fine with that unit for awhile.

Alternatively if you want a new system look into a Fleck softener, likely another 30,000 grain would be sufficient. Something like this although this one is 45,000 grains.

I just installed one of these my self in Dublin. Highly recommend it, water in Dublin is ~20 - 25 hardness but is is great now. Very easy to do, I've put together Ikea furniture that is more complex.

You may need a plumber to come out to cut a soft water loop so you can separate out the soft water and only have it inside your house since you obviously don't need soft water for your lawn/ etc.

The other consideration is that you will need a drain nearby for the regeneration brine water but you can get pretty creative with that part.

I installed my own water softener, same time I did my water heater. I ordered the mostly highly recommended water softener brand, bought it on amazon. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00OGN3162/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So test your water, get a properly sized softener, install, set up the hardness and stuff and then live a happy life

Built around a Fleck 5600SXT valve, so the component that matters is a proven reliable one.

There's no such thing, unfortunately. Any of them that you see online will not actually filter out the minerals in hard water. The only real solution to hard water is to get an ion exchange water softener that connects to your water main in your home.

Something like this is what you should be looking for if you really want to combat hard water: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OGN3162/ref=cm_sw_r_apan_i_MS89J3YJ4E45EF6NS12Z

Bought this and have been super happy with it. Paid a plumber to install it to the existing softener loop in the garage and it's been great.

Thoughts on this?

Looking online, where is a good place to buy a fleck 5600 unit that’s reputable? Heard some units releasing resin beads into house plumbing.

Also is the cabinet style less serviceable like a GE?

that's the one I bought, no issues

I have a Kinetico Sulfurguard system with Fleck water softener. The water softener I bought on Amazon and installed myself which is very easy. Kinetico only sells and services through their dealers. My drinking water is better than the city or county. This is the best setup Ive found.
