5600 Series Backwashing Filters

Backwashing filters use large media tanks filled with a medium that is periodically renewed by a regular “backwash” to rinse away contaminants.

Our 5600 Series filters are offered with a wide range of media to address water treatment issues for both city and rural customers: chlorine/chemical reduction, iron removal, pH adjustment and more.

The Chloramine Catcher

A backwashing filter designed to remove chloramines and other chemical contaminants with Centaur® catalytic carbon and an innovative tank design.

Catalytic carbon has a much better ability than regular filter carbon to “chemisorb” chlorine into harmless substances like chloride.

Filox Filters

Our high-performance units feature Fleck 2510 Control, Vortech advanced design mineral tank, and Filox-R™ — the best iron/manganese/hydrogen sulfide treatment medium on the market.

Fleck Backwashing Filters

Backwashing filters offered in a variety of sizes, all featuring appropriately sized Fleck control valves.

Filters are offered without media, but include everything else you need: a steel bypass valve, a polyglass mineral tank, a basket distributor with riser tube, and a gravel bed and funnel for easy installation of media.

Aer-Max Aeration Systems

Aer-Max aeration systems are a relatively trouble-free and completely safe way to remove iron and hydrogen sulfide from well water without adding chemicals.

An Aer-Max system must be followed by a filter to remove oxidized contaminants.

Single Tank Aerator

A unique filter combining aeration and media filtration in a single tank. The Single Tank Aerator uses a Fleck AIO control valve to draw air into the tank, oxidizing contaminants into a filterable form.

Large Reverse Osmosis Units

Whole house reverse osmosis units for contaminants that are difficult — or impossible — to remove with cartridge filters and media-based backwashing filters.

Reverse osmosis units effectively remove sodium, chloride, fluoride and other difficult-to-treat contaminants. For certain difficult waters, it's the only solution.

Water Softeners

Water softeners are ion exchangers, used to treat “hardness” ions that cause the scale, staining and spotting that can shorten the lifespan of some home appliances.

In certain low pH conditions, they can also be used to remove moderate amounts of ferric iron.

Watts Scale Prevention

Watts OneFlow provides a salt-free alternative to a water softener for scale prevention.

Scale prevention units do not remove calcium and magnesium ions from water (as softeners do) but, rather, they change these hardness minerals to a crystalline form so that they do not attach to pipes, appliances, and fixture surfaces.
