Fleck 5600 Econominder Timer Carbon Filter
Additional Details
Fleck 5600 Econominder Timer Carbon Filter
Automated Carbon Filtration with Scheduled Regeneration
Carbon Adsorption
Water flows through granular activated carbon media, removing chlorine, organic compounds, taste, and odor through adsorption. Choose coconut shell carbon for standard filtration or catalytic carbon for chloramine and hydrogen sulfide removal.
Clock-Initiated Control
The Fleck 5600 Econominder uses a mechanical timer that initiates backwash cycles based on a preset calendar schedule, not water usage. You program the frequency based on your water quality and carbon capacity.
Automatic Regeneration
During backwash, water flows upward through the carbon bed at high velocity, lifting and agitating the media to flush trapped sediment and particulates to drain. This restores flow rate and maintains filtration efficiency.
Whole-House Distribution
Filtered water exits through the 3/4" or 1" NPT Noryl bypass valve and enters your home's distribution system. Every faucet, shower, and appliance receives carbon-filtered water free of chlorine and organic contaminants.

Installation and Maintenance Requirements
The Fleck 5600 Econominder requires a 110V electrical connection and adequate drain access for backwash discharge. Recommended for municipal water with chlorine or well water with organic contamination. If you have chloramine-treated water, specify catalytic carbon media at time of order. Carbon media typically requires replacement every 3 to 5 years depending on water quality and usage. The timer-based operation is ideal for consistent water quality where backwash scheduling can be based on time rather than volume.
