Overview
This is a water softener built around Fleck's 5600 SXT control valve, with the title indicating it ships already loaded to a 48,000 grain capacity. The blue mineral tank measures 10 by 10 by 54 inches and weighs about 150 pounds.
The Fleck 5600 SXT is a widely used metered control valve in water treatment, and the 48k figure in the title points to resin loaded for a 48,000 grain softening capacity, though it is not broken out as its own labeled spec. At 150 pounds, this is a full system tank rather than a small cartridge unit, so buyers should plan for standard softener installation space.

- Blue tank finish

Who it's for
This suits homeowners setting up or replacing whole-house water softening who want a resin tank that arrives pre-loaded rather than filled separately. It is not a compact under-sink solution, given its 54 inch height and 150 pound weight.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Fleck 5600 SXT is an established control valve
- Ships pre-loaded per the title
- Full-size tank for whole-house use
- Grain capacity not a separate labeled spec
- 150 lb weight needs solid floor space
- Only 7 ratings recorded
Performance notes
The 5600 SXT valve is a metered head, meaning it regenerates based on actual water use rather than a fixed timer, the standard approach for controlling softener cycles efficiently. At 150 pounds and 54 inches tall, the tank needs a dedicated floor footprint with drain access for regeneration, typical of full-house softener installs.
