I upgraded the cheap, 1/2" plastic drain hose barb to brass 5/8" as I have a fairly long run to the discharge site. I used two 3/4" braided stainless water heater hoses for connection. Ensure the bends aren't too sharp or they'll start to flatten out and may partially restrict water flow. If that happens you will definitely notice it when running water inside your home. That said, I haven't noticed any pressure difference. Was in the shower last night and had my wife flush the toilet, I still didn't notice any fluctuation. It's fairly easy to program, but I highly recommend you read the manual a time or two first. You will need to know the hardness of your water before programming. Use quality test strips, or get a digital total dissolved solids meter like I have on my RO filters. I used both and went with the average. Alternatively, you can always send a water sample to a lab for testing. Once operational, it took a couple of days to feel the full effect of the softened water. Last I checked, it's producing water with 20 ppm TDS (according to the test strip). In the past I've used salt pellets. I've read that they can possibly cause issues with gumming things up. This time I went with crystal salt. Time will tell. The softener has been online for only one week and I still have 2000 gallons to go before the next regeneration which I have set at 12:00 midnight. This will be its first auto regen. At this rate, it appears it will need to regen once every three weeks or so. But then, it's just me and my wife using it. I can already feel a difference in my skin, it's not nearly as dry and itchy feeling. I really like this softener. I believe the price is very good compared to some of the others out there and would definitely buy it again. I highly recommend it. Hope this helps. Review: Great value. Works as advertised. ChatGPT recommended this unit and it delivers! - So far so good. The water tastes great. We are using potassium chloride with no issues so far. It has been about a month. I've never installed one of these and had zero issues installing it. You will need to order a drain line and the connection lines as well as some silicone for the seals, but if you follow the instructions you will be ok. I called for a couple questions and customer service got back to me right away. Saved thousands of dollars by doing a diy install. And even if you pay a plumber $500 bucks to hook it up, you will still save thousands. ## Features - Upgraded Large Light Commercial 18x40 round brine tank w/safety float - 1" male threaded bypass - Upgraded 10% cross linked water softener resin - Fleck 5600 SXT On Demand System - USA Made !!! - We email you DIY VIDEO instructions for installation & programming !!! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B075XY2SWL | | Batteries Included? | No | | Batteries Required? | No | | Best Sellers Rank | #380,824 in Tools & Home Improvement ( See Top 100 in Tools & Home Improvement ) #350 in Water Softeners | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars (206) | | Date First Available | September 26, 2017 | | Included Components | complete system | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 95 pounds | | Item model number | 80k | | Manufacturer | FLECK | | Part Number | 80k | | Product Dimensions | 13 x 13 x 54 inches | | Size | 80,000 | ## Images ![Fleck 5600 SXT Meter Demand Water Softener Grain Capacity 10% Commercial Grade Cation Resin (80,000, Almond) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/31L7tw1oDmL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very satisfied with the 5600 SXT 64K *by J***R on February 25, 2023* This replaced the old style manual 5600 so was pretty easy to plumb in.

I’ve had this now about 8 months now. I wouldn’t have anything else. I’ve owed different water softeners over years before. Even rented some. This is the real deal when it comes to quality and reliability.
