I own 8 year old Fleck 5600SXT 24,000 that seems to be dying. I purchased it 'new' but have some doubts as to the integrity of the vendor. I think he might be one of those guys who 'refurbishes' old machines and sells them as new, either way after 8 years he is nowhere to be found.
The capacity of the machine seems to dropping about 20% every 4 years, I have had to reduce the recharge cycle from 1150 gallons in 2013, to 950 in 2017, and now to 800 in 2021. Now even at 800 soft water is hit or miss. City water w/ Chlorine .6; hardness 16, no iron, salt set to 6 lbs. Also lot of dark brown stuff inside the valve.
Because I do not know the true history of my system I trying to decide between new resin and rebuild the head or just replacing the entire system.
If I decide to replace with a new system using a Fleck 5810, can anyone recommend a good vendor either on the internet or near St. Paul, MN.
