How do I know if I have Backwash system or softener. I currently have an aqua-pure nfs series that needs the head replaced.

The water softener version of the Fleck 5600 would have a 3/8" tubing connected on the side to a brine ( salt ) tank. We list and explain both types on our website. But you need to make sure your valve is Threaded, as the newer Aqua Pure valves are NOT thread and use proprietary tanks. We have an article in our FAQ section ( on website ) about that possible problem.

A water softener uses salt, so if you add salt to your system or have a salt tank, you need a softener head. If you just have a single tank that backwashes with water, then you need a filter head. MarkAFW Filters785-735-9769

You can text me a picture and I can tell you exactly what you need, I may even have an old aqua pure valve laying around here so depending on what is wrong, maybe we can just fix that unit?Will 623.695.1524 cellABC WATER EQUIPMENT

Just use a q-tip to clean the back plate. Close your eyes and blow on the coils to clear away any stray hairs. I never had any stick to the coils. A very small brush also works to brush away the hair and debris.

I installed a double set close to the main water supply and before my water softener. If you change the filters regularly you should have no issues.

Suggest you install a manual clean out above the intake diverter. Look for the SlimLine downspout filter by Aquabarrel

I have hard water also but do have a softner on my system. So far the inside is shiny and bright as new. Not sure, of course, if it is the softner or the material the kettle is made from.

Leslie, Thank you for reaching out. We have not changed out back scrubber. What you have received is a fake of the original Aquis back scrubber. Please return it to Amazon and let them know that your reseller has sold you a fake product. It has come to our notice that several resellers on amazon are selling counterfeits of our brands which you can imagine affects reputation and customer trust. Also our first time customers have no way of knowing the original from the fake since these resellers have also copied our packaging. We are in touch with Amazon and hope they can help ban all dubious resellers from the amazon marketplace. Please buy AQUIS only from AQUIS INC to be assured of a genuine product until then. Please call us on 415-795-7210 or email us at contact@aquis.com if you have any questions.

I have well water and a softener, and high iron content. I purchased this product about a year ago, and it worked great for a few weeks (strong ozone smell). Then the ozone smell stopped. I sent it back to greentech environmental and they replaced it free of charge. Then the same problem occurred. They recommended I "backwash" the unit, where you reverse the connections, and flow water backwards. This fixed the problem! Apparently small particles can clog the ozone generator. Now I backflush the unit after every 4 loads (once a week), and that has worked over the past 9 months. Also am using a smaller (1 micron) sediment filter, instead of 30 micron, ahead of the softener.

Check with the manual if they allow water softener? I just remove my unit from the shop after 2 months use because I need bigger size. my unit is like new condition If you interest I can sale it to you. Good luck

I do not have a hard water problem here, but having loved in Arizona previously, from Experience with hard water there, I would not use this unit unless I had a water softener system installed and functioning prior to installation.

Wash your filter. You Should inspect it also and if there is animal hair in the filter area. You can get a new cyclone compartment under your warranty for no charge as it may be a rubber gasket not aligning. Should not have alot of hair in the filter. Happened to me but they replaced it happily.

I would purge the system completely. The pump should make a coiling sound . Also invest in a tds meter. Does it taste worse that the tap water? If so you might have it plumbed backwards.

hello, Joanne; if you understand the function of what the part does/underground sprinkler system - I bought a house that maintenance apparently wasn't that important: the back-flow preventer did it's job by breaking/freezing before other $damage$ occurred. Ordered a part from DPL, siliconed the o-rings, works like a charm. Blue Heron Specialty Products is the Brand.

Can't say for sure that they will never require replacement. But I am about ready to have to clean mine, which the instructions tell you how to do it. But it is one great piece of equipment. We are on well water and it is so very HARD. Plus we live in complex of condos that do not have water softeners, and you have no way of getting one. We use a filter on our kitchen water, but THIS beauty does a great job of softening the shower water. I'd buy a second one, without question, if they DID wear out. Hope this helps.

Hi, I can't say for sure as I have she Noritz, but I have a water softener. I do know there are many recommendations that if you have hard water something should be done to prevent build up.I assume you're considering a tankless as a move away from a tank style water heater. If your tank style did not last many years I'd suggest something to protect the tankless. This of this. These units run water through small tubes that are heated to make hot water. These tubes wouldn't take much to be come clogged. Hope I was of some help.
