Fleck 5600-SXT Softener
Installation & Start-Up Guide

Thank you for purchasing a Clean Water System! With proper
installation and a little routine maintenance your system will be
providing filtered water for many years.

Your new system comes with a printed Fleck Service manual,
which along with this start-up guide will help guide you in the
installation and start-up of your new system. The Fleck service
manual covers other types of systems as well such as water
softeners and filters, so there may be information in your Fleck
service manual that does not pertain to your system. Please
review this start-up guide entirely before beginning to install
your system and follow the steps outlined for best results.
