Every softener below is built on a Fleck control valve — the industry's most trusted non-proprietary platform. Parts are widely available, any qualified tech can service them, and the designs have been proven in the field for decades. Each system comes complete with high-capacity resin, a mineral (resin) tank, a brine tank with safety float, and a bypass valve. Not sure which one fits your home?

Fleck 5600SXT — Metered Digital
Fleck's most popular residential softener, and the one we recommend for most San Antonio and Hill Country homes. The digital SXT controller meters your actual water use and regenerates only when you're close to running out of soft water — typically overnight — so you never waste salt or water on a fixed schedule.
- On-demand metered regeneration — uses less salt and water than timer-based units
- Easy-to-read LCD display shows time, remaining capacity, and cycle status
- Memory backup retains your settings and usage history through power outages
- Immediate, delayed-meter, or delayed-time regeneration modes

Fleck 5600 Econominder — Mechanical Metered
The same trusted 5600 valve with a fully mechanical meter instead of digital controls. This design has been running in homes for over 40 years, and with no circuit board there's nothing for a power surge or lightning strike to damage — a real consideration on rural Hill Country wells. It still regenerates based on your actual water use, not a fixed timer.
- Fully mechanical — immune to power surges and outages
- Metered regeneration keeps salt and water use efficient
- Field-proven design any water-treatment tech can service
- Simple to set and virtually maintenance-free day to day
| Capacity | Resin | Tank Size |

Fleck 5810SXT — High Flow Digital
Fleck's newest high-flow platform, built for larger homes where a standard ¾" valve becomes the bottleneck. Its 1¼" valve supports service flow rates up to 36 GPM (47 GPM peak), so multiple showers, laundry, and irrigation can run at once without a pressure drop. Same on-demand digital metering as the 5600SXT, on a bigger valve.
- 1¼" high-flow valve — up to 36 GPM service / 47 GPM peak
- On-demand metered regeneration for salt and water efficiency
- Ideal for larger homes, multiple bathrooms, and light commercial use
- Modern SXT digital controller with status display

Fleck 9100SXT — Twin Tank
Two resin tanks that alternate automatically: one is always in service while the other regenerates, so you never run out of soft water — even during regeneration. Because it regenerates with already-softened water and switches tanks based on actual usage, it's noticeably more salt- and water-efficient than single-tank preset systems. The right choice for big families, very hard water, and light commercial buildings.
- Continuous soft water, 24/7 — no downtime during regeneration
- Alternating twin tanks save roughly 15% on salt and water vs. preset systems
- Valve engineered and tested to the equivalent of 27 years of daily use
- Great fit for large homes, high water use, and light commercial
| Capacity (per tank) | Tank Size |

| 32,000 grains | 9" × 48" |

Which size do I need?
Softener sizing depends on two things: how hard your water is (grains per gallon) and how much water your household uses. Undersize it and it regenerates constantly, wasting salt; oversize it and you paid for capacity you'll never use. That's why we start every install with a free water test — we measure your hardness and recommend the right valve and tank for your home, with an honest quote and no pressure.
