Fleck 5600SXT Whole House Sulfate Reduction System | 1.0 - 2.0 Cubic Ft

The Premier Advantage for High-Sulfate Well Water

• Built for Tough Conditions: The Sulfate Reduction System adapts to seasonal or intermittent changes in well water sulfate levels, providing consistent, reliable filtration.
• Sulfate Health Risks: High sulfate levels in drinking water (above 250 mg/L) can cause dehydration and diarrhea, especially in infants, the elderly, and those with health conditions. For livestock, it can lead to weight loss and can corrode plumbing. Our Sulfate System brings sulfate levels below 250 mg/L, often down to trace or non-detectable levels, protecting both health and plumbing.
• Space-Saving Alternative: Get the performance of a whole house water filtration system with a space-saving design and a lower cost compared to whole-house reverse osmosis systems.

Key Product Features:

• Capacity & Sizing: Built to serve households of 1-8 people and 1-5 bathrooms. Effectively filters up to 1500 ppm of sulfates and 40 gpg of hardness.
• Installation Made Easy: Delivered assembled with preloaded filter media. Includes DIY installation accessories and instructions.
• Free Delivery: Available within the continental U.S.
• Quality You Can Trust: Our tanks and control valves are made in the USA, using NSF 61 certified filter media and NSF certified valves.

Sulfate occurs naturally in many groundwater sources. As water moves through soil and rock formations containing sulfate minerals, some sulfate dissolves into the groundwater. Why remove sulfates from drinking water?

• High sulfate levels can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort, including diarrhea.

• Taste and odor – Sulfates can give water a bitter taste and sometimes a noticeable odor, making it unpalatable for consumption.

• Plumbing issues – Sulfates can contribute to the corrosion of plumbing pipes and fixtures, leading to increased maintenance costs and potential leaching of metals into drinking water.

• Aesthetic concerns – High sulfate levels can lead to scale formation in pipes, boilers, and other appliances, reducing their efficiency and lifespan.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has set a secondary maximum contaminate level (SMCL) for sulfate in drinking water at 250 mg/L. This standard is based on taste, odor, and aesthetic considerations rather than health effects.

The PWS-SULFATE systems utilize Purolite’s WQA Certified A300E ion exchange resin, which is manufactured to reduce Sulfates in drinking water. In the ion exchange process, as water moves through the media, the Sulfate ions are replaced with chloride. The source of chloride is from the salt used to regenerate the unit. Our regenerable treatment systems offer long-term, sustainable, and cost-effective contaminate reduction.
