Nelsen AIO 10"X54" Iron Filter System

Iron staining on fixtures, laundry, and sinks is one of the most common complaints among well-water homeowners, and it tends to worsen over time as deposits accumulate. The Nelsen AIO 10"x54" Iron Filter System addresses the problem at the source using air injection oxidation, a salt-free method that converts dissolved ferrous iron into a filterable form and traps it in the media bed until the next backwash flushes it harmlessly to drain. The result is water that no longer leaves orange-brown marks on porcelain, appliances, or clothing.

• Targets dissolved iron to stop orange-brown staining throughout the home
• Fleck 5600SXT control valve automates air draw and backwash scheduling
• Tall 10" x 54" black Structural mineral tank for added media capacity
• Complete with matched media, gravel support bed, and 3/4" bypass valve
• No chemicals, salt, or feed systems to replenish
• Approximate shipping weight: 92 lbs

The taller 54-inch tank in this configuration provides extra freeboard for effective bed expansion during backwash, which helps the media stay clean and extends its working life. As whole-house point-of-entry equipment, it protects plumbing, appliances, and water heaters from the gradual buildup and reduced flow that iron-laden water causes over time. Many homeowners find that installing iron treatment also extends the life of downstream equipment such as softeners and tankless heaters.

Backed by the trusted Nelsen name and assembled by Water Softener Plus, the system arrives as a turnkey package with everything required for a straightforward installation. The 5600SXT digital valve makes both setup and ongoing operation simple, refreshing the internal air pocket on every regeneration so iron removal stays consistent and reliable year after year with virtually no hands-on maintenance from the homeowner.

Before installation, it is worth testing your water to confirm iron concentration and pH, since air injection performs best within typical residential ranges. Position the unit on a level surface near your main supply line and a suitable drain, and allow clearance above the tank so the control valve can be serviced. Many installers pair an AIO iron filter with a downstream sediment filter or softener for the most polished result, and this Nelsen platform integrates easily into such a treatment train.
