Iron stains creeping across your sinks and tubs, rusty water tinting every glass you pour, and mineral buildup escalating repair bills—these are the unmistakable signs of iron combined with hard water straight from your well. Left untreated, this harsh duo not only ruins your home’s plumbing and appliances but also drains your wallet and disrupts your family’s comfort daily.

The system that fixes it

The Fleck Iron + Hard Water (Well) System is engineered precisely to tackle the hostile combination of iron and hard minerals in your water supply. At its heart lies the Fleck 2510 SXT air-injection control valve, a cutting-edge component designed to optimize oxidation and regeneration cycles. This valve isn’t just a control device—it injects air during backwash to supercharge iron oxidation, ensuring a thorough breakdown of iron particles before the softening stage. With a genuine, serviceable brand valve, you get reliability, ease of maintenance, and a system built to last. The system pairs this advanced valve with a specialized tank built specifically for air-injection oxidation ahead of softening. Inside, the media is carefully layered: iron is oxidized and filtered first via air-injection iron media, which prevents the iron fouling that commonly clogs and damages resin beds. Then, the softened resin efficiently tackles hardness, delivering clean, clear water while protecting your plumbing and fixtures.

How the media works

This system uses a two-step media process inside an air-injection oxidizing tank to conquer iron and hardness. The iron media first traps and oxidizes dissolved iron as air is injected during backwash cycles, transforming it into particulate form that’s easily filtered out. Because iron is removed before the softening resin, the resin remains free from fouling—a common problem where iron particles clog softening beds, reducing effectiveness and lifespan. After iron removal, the softening resin exchanges hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium for sodium, softening your water. This staged removal ensures clean water, longer media life, and optimal system performance, tailored to the challenges of well water laden with iron and hardness.
