Fleck Safe Drinking Water System
Head valve + tank + media, matched to solve safe drinking water — sized and shipped free.
When your home's water carries a chemical bite or an off-putting taste, every sip becomes a gamble. Chlorine-laden water corrodes plumbing fixtures, clouds your cooking, and leaves an unnatural odor in your glass. Without proper treatment, your family faces not just discomfort but potential long-term health risks from contaminants hiding in unfiltered water. These silent problems drain your peace of mind and inflate household expenses through premature appliance wear and unnecessary bottled water purchases.
The system that fixes it
The Fleck Safe Drinking Water System is engineered to restore purity and confidence to every drop flowing through your home. At its heart is the Fleck 5600 SXT backwashing control valve—a renowned, reliable brand valve that orchestrates the system’s automatic cleaning cycles. This control valve ensures the media inside the tank refreshes without your intervention, maintaining peak filtration performance day after day. Why does a genuine, serviceable brand valve matter? Because it guarantees longevity, easy maintenance, and precise operation, unlike subpar alternatives that risk system failure or costly repairs.
Built on a robust whole-house backwashing carbon tank, this system’s core strength lies in its catalytic carbon media layered over a graded multimedia bed. Together, these layers actively strip chlorine, eliminate unpleasant tastes, and reduce sediment throughout your entire household water supply. For those seeking the ultimate in drinking water clarity, pairing the system with our under-sink reverse osmosis option polishes water at the point of use—delivering crisp, fresh hydration directly at your tap.

How the media works
Inside the tank lies a carefully engineered blend of catalytic carbon layered atop a graded multimedia bed. Catalytic carbon is specially treated to attract and neutralize chlorine molecules, which cause water’s harsh taste and unpleasant odor. Its unique structure also improves the removal of chemical contaminants beyond standard activated carbon. Beneath this layer, the graded multimedia bed acts like a sieve, capturing sediment and particles of varying sizes before they reach your taps. This dual-layer approach ensures that as water passes through, it emerges cleaner, fresher, and free of harsh chemicals—providing your household with safe, comfortable water straight from every faucet.
