WSP Whole House Water Softener - Metered, Fleck 5810SXT

If your fixtures are covered in scale, your dishes come out spotty, soap won’t lather well, and laundry feels stiff, you’re likely dealing with hard water. The WSP Whole House Water Softener - Metered, Fleck 5810SXT helps reduce these common problems throughout your home’s water supply.

The Problem You’re Facing

Hard water leaves behind a chalky buildup on faucets, showerheads, and inside your toilet tank. You might notice cloudy or spotted glasses, soap that just sits on your skin without foaming, and towels that don’t soften after washing. Over time, mineral deposits make cleaning tougher and your appliances less efficient.

Why Hard Water Causes This

Hard water contains minerals like calcium and magnesium. When heated or left on surfaces, these minerals settle out as scale—the crusty buildup causing those rings, spots, and stiff fabrics. A simple test you can do at home is a soap lather test: if your soap forms little suds or none at all, it’s a sign your water is hard.

What Leaving It Untreated Costs You

Scale buildup shortens the life of your water heater and appliances by making them work harder. You’ll use more soap and detergent because they don’t rinse clean easily. Cleaning takes longer as you scrub off mineral deposits. Over months and years, this adds up to more effort and higher replacement costs.

How This Water Softener Works

This system uses a process called ion exchange. It swaps the calcium and magnesium in your water with sodium ions, softer minerals that don’t leave deposits. The result is softer water coming through every tap in your house, reducing scale and making cleaning easier.

What This System Can Handle

The WSP Whole House Water Softener with the Fleck 5810SXT control valve is designed for reliable, metered operation. It tracks your water use and regenerates the softening resin only when needed, saving salt and water. This system can handle typical household water hardness and offers enough capacity for most family homes. It works continuously to reduce scale, improve soap performance, and protect your plumbing without wasteful guesswork.

What You Actually Get

Included with this system is the main pressure vessel backed by a lifetime warranty, ensuring long-term durability. The Fleck 5810SXT control valve manages the softening process and carries the manufacturer's warranty. You also get a bypass valve included at no extra cost, allowing you to isolate the softener during service while keeping water running to your home. For drain connection, 10 feet of discharge hose comes with the unit.

Is This the Right Size for You?

This softener suits households with moderate to high water hardness and typical water usage. If your home uses significantly less water, or your hardness level is very low, a smaller unit might be more efficient. Conversely, for very large homes or small businesses with heavy demand, a larger system will better meet your needs.

Living with the System

Maintenance involves adding salt periodically and occasional cleaning of the brine tank, which your plumber can advise on. The system’s metered control means regeneration happens only when necessary, reducing salt and water use and minimizing upkeep. You can expect a straightforward maintenance routine spread across the year.

What This System Won’t Do

This water softener reduces hardness minerals but does not filter out sediment, bacteria, or chemicals. If your water has other issues like iron staining, sulfur odor, or contamination, you’ll need additional treatment tailored to those problems.
