Every stage, explained
Sediment pre-filter — This initial stage is your first line of defense against damaging sand and grit pulled up by your well pump. Sediment can cause costly wear on pumps and fixtures, but this pre-filter intercepts those particles before they enter your home’s plumbing. By removing these abrasives early, it protects downstream equipment and extends the life of the entire system.
Air-injection Iron & Sulfur filter — Iron and manganese in well water not only stain sinks, tubs, and laundry with rust-colored deposits but also produce a foul rotten-egg odor that’s hard to ignore. This specialized filter uses an air-injection method to oxidize and trap these contaminants effectively. The result is clearer, odor-free water that improves both the look and smell of every drop.
Disinfection stage — Bacteria and organic odors can persist even after sediment and metals are removed. The disinfection stage suppresses these microbial threats, providing peace of mind that your water is hygienic throughout your household. This critical step reduces health risks and eliminates unpleasant smells caused by bacteria growth within your plumbing system.
UV disinfection add-on — For those wanting extra assurance, the optional ultraviolet (UV) treatment kills bacteria, viruses, and cysts without relying on chemicals. This method is safe, environmentally friendly, and effective at inactivating microscopic pathogens that other stages might miss. It’s an ideal safeguard for households seeking chemical-free, comprehensive microbial protection.
Under-sink reverse-osmosis (RO) add-on — To transform your water into bottled-quality drinking water, the RO add-on employs a finely tuned filtration process at the point of use. It removes dissolved solids and residual contaminants that can affect taste and safety, delivering crisp, pure water straight from your faucet. Perfect for drinking, cooking, and preparing baby formula, this addition rounds out your system with unmatched water quality.
Why the install order matters
The sequence in which well water treatments are installed is not random—it’s essential for optimal performance and durability. This package follows a proven order starting with pH neutralization if needed, correcting low pH to prevent corrosion. Next, the iron and sulfur filter removes metals and odors before water reaches the softener, protecting the resin from fouling. After softening, the disinfection and UV stages reduce bacteria risks, and finally, the under-sink reverse osmosis provides high-purity drinking water. Proper sequencing ensures each stage functions efficiently without compromising the others, delivering lasting, dependable water quality.
Why one brand
Using genuine Fleck control valves exclusively across every stage means you gain a unified system with consistent programming, shared replacement parts, and streamlined maintenance. One brand eliminates compatibility headaches and simplifies servicing, so when help is needed, your technician faces a single, familiar platform. This cohesion reduces downtime, lowers repair costs, and guarantees your system’s components work in perfect harmony for years to come.
