The 5600 eco has been a work horse for several decades. It is reliable and dependable. This was a replacement for an autotrol electronic valve that always went crazy every time the power went out. Previously I have 20 years in the water industry and my opinion this unit is the most reliable still. The pricing is not much over dealer cost and I would not hesitate to purchase this unit again. The only down side is the 110v. 24v is much easier for a homeowner to work with unless you currently have an outlet right next to your installation site. I ordered the 24v timer motor and 24 volt ac/dc converter for around 35.00$ and eliminated the need for and electrician to run a 110v outlet. The unit has 1inch mpt on the bypass. The installation was very easy, but I have installed hundreds of them. The dealer video is very well done. The resin must be rinsed after installation account there will be dark water coming into your house. The install video suggests to let the unit go through a regen cycle after install. I flushed the unit by opening the mop sink cold water till the water ran clear, then set the unit to regen that night by advancing the meter wheel counter clockwise till it stopped. Hope this helps in your decision. Review: Easy installation and start up - Replaced a failed older unit with this one. Fast delivery, no damaged or missing parts. No problems with installation. Been operating trouble free for a few weeks now with normal salt consumption. ## Features - Structural tank ships loaded with resin in mineral tank for easier installation - Manufacturer warranty 5 year warranty valve 10 years tanks - Metered water softener regenerates as needed to save salt and water - Great for removing water hardness on city and well water - Never lose power due to power outages ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07F1LVR45 | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #342,032 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #352 in Water Softeners | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (72) | | Date First Available | June 25, 2018 | | Head Style | Mechanical Metered | | Included Components | Water softener | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 99 pounds | | Item model number | 48k | | Manufacturer | Fleck | | Part Number | 48k | | Product Dimensions | 54 x 10 x 10 inches | | Size | 48,000 Grains | ## Images ![DuraWater 100% Soft Water Softener Fleck Metered 5600 Mechanical 48,000 Grains Ships Loaded - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41Y2lqHCBSL.jpg) ![DuraWater 100% Soft Water Softener Fleck Metered 5600 Mechanical 48,000 Grains Ships Loaded - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PHFp-5-iL.jpg) ![DuraWater 100% Soft Water Softener Fleck Metered 5600 Mechanical 48,000 Grains Ships Loaded - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41pbkqaXeyL.jpg) ![DuraWater 100% Soft Water Softener Fleck Metered 5600 Mechanical 48,000 Grains Ships Loaded - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Re+9hcebL.jpg) ![DuraWater 100% Soft Water Softener Fleck Metered 5600 Mechanical 48,000 Grains Ships Loaded - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/41UDL+0i+NL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dependable *by S***E on January 16, 2019* This is a great value in water softeners.

No problems with installation. Been operating trouble free for a few weeks now with normal salt consumption. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Missing "White Dot" on Program Wheel *by P***O on September 19, 2022* This is my 2nd Fleck 5600 water softener. The had the first one for nearly 20 years. It is still working but I decided to replace it with a new one anyway. Follow the manual and you can install and startup easily. I give 4 stars because the program wheel does not have a "white dot" as indicated in the manual. You need to know this mark in order to program schedule for REGEN. I called Aplus Water LLC asking for help. The response from Aplus Water LLC was excellent. I give 5 stars for Aplus Water LLC Customer Service. --- ## 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.com.kw/products/71833649-durawater-100-soft-water-softener-fleck-metered-5600-mechanical-48](https://www.desertcart.com.kw/products/71833649-durawater-100-soft-water-softener-fleck-metered-5600-mechanical-48) --- *Product available on Desertcart Kuwait* *Store origin: KW* *Last updated: 2026-05-12*
