Fleck Chloramine (City Water) System
Head valve + tank + media, matched to solve chloramine (city water) — sized and shipped free.
Invisible but intrusive, chloramine in city water quietly seeps into your daily life, stripping away the freshness of your water and leaving behind a subtle chemical taste and odor that no amount of boiling can fix. Clothes fade faster, skin feels dry and itchy, and plumbing fixtures develop stubborn build-up. This lingering presence doesn’t only compromise your comfort but threatens your home's pipes and appliances, quietly inflating maintenance costs over time.
The system that fixes it
Introducing the Fleck Chloramine (City Water) System, engineered precisely to tackle the unique challenge posed by chloramine—a compound tougher to remove than standard chlorine. At the heart of the system lies the Fleck 5600 SXT backwashing control valve, a proven, reliable component that orchestrates automatic backwashing cycles to keep your carbon media fresh and effective. Unlike generic valves, the Fleck 5600 SXT is a genuine, serviceable brand valve, designed for easy maintenance and long-term durability. The system’s backbone is a robust carbon tank that backwashes thoroughly to cleanse accumulated contaminants. Inside, Centaur catalytic activated carbon media works aggressively to break the chemical bond between chlorine and ammonia, adsorbing both, ensuring your water emerges pure and free from chloramine’s unpleasant effects.

How the media works
The secret weapon against chloramine is the Centaur catalytic activated carbon media. Unlike standard carbon, this specialized media doesn’t just absorb chlorine; it catalyzes a chemical reaction that breaks apart the tightly bound chlorine-ammonia molecule found in chloramine. Once separated, the media adsorbs both chlorine and ammonia particles, effectively neutralizing their presence in your water supply. This dual-action process ensures chloramine’s harmful and unpleasant components are fully removed, not just masked, delivering water that’s truly clean and safe for your entire household.

Common questions
Q? How does chloramine differ from chlorine, and why can’t I just use a standard carbon filter?

A The valve is engineered for durability and ease of service. Its backwashing cycles are automated, minimizing manual upkeep, and because it’s a genuine Fleck product, parts and support are readily available if service is ever needed.
