Overview
AFWFilters bundles a metered water softener and a separate backwashing pH neutralizer, each driven by a Fleck 5600SXT control head. A standard brine tank with a safety float feeds the softener.
Buying both systems together matches the usual fix for hard, low-pH water in a home of average size, and on-demand regeneration follows actual use. The limitation is the amount of equipment to place and plumb, and the listing does not state the water chemistry it is rated for.
Who it's for
A homeowner with both scale and acidic water who can set up two tanks and a salt tub at the main line. Someone with a very large household, or an apartment, will find the system oversized for the job.
Pros and cons
- Softener and neutralizer in one package
- Usage-based on-demand regeneration
- Large brine tank with safety float
- Fleck control head
- Heavy, two-tank footprint
- Rated water chemistry not listed
- Color listed only as various
Performance notes
The softener regenerates only when metered water use demands it, which saves salt and water compared with a timer. The neutralizer bed is backwashed to stay loose and clear of sediment. The brine tank holds the salt that renews the resin, so refilling it is the regular chore.

Frequently asked questions
How do I look after the AFWFilters 5600SXT combo?
The brine tank holds 200 pounds of salt and needs refilling as the softener uses it. The listing gives no other maintenance schedule.
Do I need both tanks from the AFWFilters 5600SXT package?
The package pairs a softener with a pH neutralizer, and each is driven by its own Fleck 5600SXT control, so each treats a different problem.
Is the AFWFilters 5600SXT combo a drinking water filter?
No. It is a softener and a pH neutralizer for the whole house, and the listing names no drinking water filtration.
