How it works
Calcium
and Magnesium compounds make water hard. The resin used inside the
Fleck 5600 SXT water softener is attracted to both calcium and
magnesium containing compounds. When calcium or magnesium contact a
bead of water softener resin, it adheres to the resin and is trapped.
In exchange for trapping the hardness compound, the resin releases a
sodium particle. Eventually the resin becomes saturated with hardness
particles. At this point the water softener rinses the resin with very
salty water called brine. The resin releases the hardness particles
which are flushed to the drain and are recharged with sodium from the
brine. The resin is now ready to trap more calcium and magnesium.
Our system comes complete with bypass valve, brine tank safety float, plumbing fittings, drain line tubing, a funnel, and a top basket
