Fleck Iron & Odor Well System
clear, iron- and odor-free water — the #1 well fix — one matched Fleck build.
Every morning, you face the same stubborn problems: rusty stains creeping onto your sinks and tubs, a persistent sulfurous smell that lingers in your water, and the dulling damage scaling pipes and appliances. Your well water seems to carry invisible enemies—iron, sulfur, hardness—that sabotage comfort and safety in your home. It’s a daily worry about what’s in your water and how it’s affecting your family’s health and your home’s longevity. The Fleck Iron & Odor Well System is the definitive solution to clear, iron- and odor-free water—the #1 fix engineered precisely for these challenges.
The matched package
The Fleck Iron & Odor Well System offers a seamless multi-stage approach, integrating expertly matched Fleck control valves crafted on a single, unified platform. This package takes the guesswork out of complex treatment by ensuring every component works flawlessly together—from the initial sediment pre-filter to the metered softener—achieving cleaner, fresher water without compromise. Each stage is designed and engineered by Fleck to deliver maximum efficiency and longevity, eliminating iron, manganese, sulfur odors, hardness, and sediment while protecting your well pump and plumbing. The option to add a Big Blue pre-filter enhances sediment and carbon polishing for exceptional clarity and taste. This is not a collection of parts; it’s a precisely coordinated system built for your well’s unique demands.
| Stage | What it handles | Fleck hardware |

| Air-injection Iron & Sulfur filter | Removes iron, manganese, rotten-egg odor | Genuine Fleck control valve |
| Metered Softener | Removes hardness that scales pipes and appliances | Genuine Fleck control valve |
| Big Blue pre-filter (add-on) | Extra sediment/carbon polish | Genuine Fleck control valve |
Every stage, explained
Sediment pre-filter: This initial stage acts as the system’s frontline defense. It captures sand, grit, and particulate solids pulled from your well, shielding your well pump from abrasive damage and preventing clogging downstream. By stopping sediment at the start, it extends the life of your system’s delicate components and safeguards your plumbing from painful blockages and wear. Without this crucial pre-filter, the pump and filters that follow would strain under relentless grit, reducing their effectiveness and lifespan.
Air-injection Iron & Sulfur filter: After sediment removal, water enters the core purification stage designed to combat iron, manganese, and the dreaded rotten-egg odor. This Air-injection filter utilizes oxygen to oxidize dissolved iron and sulfur compounds, turning them into solid particles that the system then filters out. This process dramatically improves water clarity by eliminating rusty discoloration and the foul sulfur smell that can permeate your home. Importantly, removing these contaminants before softening keeps the resin clean and functioning properly, ensuring long-term system health.
Metered Softener: The final treatment step addresses hard water’s destructive scale buildup. This softener uses a metered control valve to precisely regulate regeneration cycles based on your water usage, efficiently exchanging hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium with sodium. By removing hardness, it protects your pipes, fixtures, and appliances from scaling and corrosion, extending their lifespan and maintaining water’s smooth feel. The metered system conserves salt and water, providing effective softening without waste.
Big Blue pre-filter add-on: For wells with heavy sediment or taste concerns, this optional stage adds a robust Big Blue housing with sediment and carbon media. It polishes well water by trapping residual particles and reducing chlorine, organic compounds, or odors that can affect taste and safety. Adding this stage can significantly improve water’s clarity and flavor, especially in challenging well environments.
Why the install order matters
The sequence in which well water treatment stages are installed is critical to both performance and system longevity. This package follows the correct professional install order: first, neutralize low pH if present (not included in this package), then remove iron and sulfur contaminants with the Air-injection Iron & Sulfur filter before softening. Removing iron before softening prevents fouling and damage to the softener resin. Sediment must be filtered first to protect the pump and all downstream equipment. After softening, any disinfection or UV treatment and drinking water reverse osmosis (RO) can be applied safely. This precise order ensures every stage operates optimally without interference or damage.
Why one brand
Using genuine Fleck control valves across every stage of your well system means one consistent programming interface, simplified maintenance, and streamlined repairs. Matching heads eliminate the frustration of juggling different control technologies and spare parts. When service is needed, technicians deal with a single brand’s design and operation, speeding diagnosis and minimizing downtime. This unified platform approach guarantees not only superior water quality but also system reliability and ease of ownership for years to come.

Common questions
Q? Why is iron removal before softening so important?
A Removing iron first prevents it from fouling the softener’s resin beads, which would reduce efficiency and require costly cleaning or replacement. Iron can clog and damage the softener if not treated ahead.
Q? Can I add extra filtration stages later?
A Yes, the Big Blue pre-filter is a popular add-on for additional sediment and carbon polishing. It can be integrated seamlessly with the existing Fleck platform to enhance water clarity and taste.
Q? How do I know if I need this system?
A If your well water stains fixtures, smells like sulfur, or causes scale buildup, this package is designed to address those exact issues. A water test confirms the contaminants and helps us size your system precisely.
