COMPATIBILITY & APPLICATIONS
Ideal Applications
The Fleck 5600 SXT Carbon Filter is designed for whole-house installation on municipal or well water systems where chlorine, taste, odor, or organic contaminants are present. Coconut shell carbon handles standard chlorine and taste issues common in city water, while catalytic carbon is recommended for systems with chloramines or hydrogen sulfide. The digital timer valve allows backwashing to occur on a set schedule, regardless of water usage, making it suitable for vacation homes or properties with variable flow patterns. Tank sizing should be based on household water usage and desired service flow rates.
💧 Pro Tip: Choose catalytic carbon if your municipality uses chloramines for disinfection. Standard coconut shell carbon does not effectively remove chloramines, which are increasingly common in treated water supplies and can cause rubber fixture degradation over time.
