Fleck Well Rust + Hardness System
Head valve + tank + media, matched to solve well rust + hardness — sized and shipped free.
Waking up to rusty stains on your sinks, spotting reddish-brown flakes in your water, or dealing with scaly buildup on your pipes are clear signs your well water is struggling with rust and hardness. These mineral intrusions don’t just discolor your water—they clog appliances, shorten plumbing lifespan, and can leave your skin dry and hair brittle. Ignoring these symptoms can cost you hundreds in repairs and replacements, not to mention the daily discomfort of subpar water quality.
The system that fixes it
The Fleck Well Rust + Hardness System is engineered specifically to tackle the dual challenge of rust and hardness in well water with unmatched precision and reliability. At the heart of this system is the Fleck 2510 SXT air-injection control valve, a state-of-the-art head valve that orchestrates the entire water treatment process. This valve uses air injection technology to oxidize iron and manganese, transforming these troublesome minerals into particles that are easily filtered out. Its programmable digital control ensures efficient regeneration cycles, maintaining consistent performance while conserving water and salt. The system’s robust tank is uniquely built as an air-injection oxidizing tank placed ahead of the softening stage, ensuring rust is neutralized before hardness minerals are removed. The carefully matched media—a combination of air-injection iron media and softening resin—works in a two-stage process, delivering clean, softened water that protects your home and improves your daily water experience.

How the media works
This system’s magic comes from its matched two-stage media that works seamlessly together. First, the air-injection iron media introduces microscopic air bubbles that oxidize rust-causing iron and manganese in your water. This oxidation turns these dissolved minerals into solid particles, much like rust settling out. These particles are then trapped and removed in the tank. After this crucial rust removal step, the softened resin media targets hardness minerals—mainly calcium and magnesium—exchanging them with sodium ions to leave your water soft and gentle. This two-step process ensures that rust is neutralized before softening, protecting your resin and preventing premature fouling of your system. The result is water that’s free from rust discoloration and hardness scale, delivered efficiently and reliably.
