I bought these about 4 years ago and I've been very pleased with them. We had a professional plumber install them and run the pipes. He actually mixed up the order and put the acid neutralizer where the softener was supposed to go and vice verse. However, I was able to switch them myself no problem. I got the acid neutralizer because we saw green streaks in our tubs. I haven't seen any new green streaks since we've had it. The acid neutralizer is pretty much no maintenance. There's no excess water that needs to be drained or anything like that. The water just enters and leaves the tank whenever you use water in your house and you don't even realize it's there. The water softener requires a little more maintenance. We put a bag of salt in the salt tank every couple weeks. We also had to install a drain line for the water softener. I was able to tie into a PVC drain pipe in our basement. I didn't want the drain line from the water softener to run across the floor so I actually ran it along the ceiling. The water softener must have a pump because it pushes the water up just fine. That made my installation much easier. After installing the water softener, I no longer have that "squeaky clean" feeling after taking a shower. Instead I always feel a little slick. It's actually a better feeling because the "squeaky clean" feeling is actually dirt that's in your water. The water softener will also preserve a lot of our appliances because it eliminates minerals in the water that wear appliances down over time. I've very satisfied with this purchase and I would highly recommend it.

Fleck 5600SXT 48,000 Grain Water Softener

The Fleck 5600SXT 48,000 Grain Water Softener and neutralizer combo I purchased from Mid-Atlantec was a complete kit that I self installed and am very happy with the unit. The product support was great and the price was great as well. It's worth it to buy from a company you can rely on.
