Features include Fleck 5600/1600 filter valves with PVC injectors and special feeder pistons, 3/4" stainless steel bypass, black polyglass tanks, basket distributors, Manganese GreensandPlus, gravel beds and potassium solution tanks.
Product Features:
- Simple mechanical design is easy to understand
- Two valve body designs; one for down-flow regeneration and one for up-flow (covers every valve in the 5600 family - quick access to all internal components)
- Injector/drain modules containing the bring valve, flow controls and injector are removable from the valve's exterior
- Ruggedly built timer is designed with heavy-duty 3/8" wide plastic gears
- 5600 controls are user friendly and easy to program
- Non-corrosive, UV-resistant Noryl® valve body
- Choice of 7 or 12 day clock or demand regeneration with either mechanical or electronic meter
- Economical - small annual power consumption; keeps the time and activates the piston/valve mechanics with a single motor
- Designed with double backwash
Manganese GreensandPlus (for Iron Removal)
The silica sand core of GreensandPlus allows it to better withstand operating conditions in waters that are low in silica, TDS and hardness. Thus, if you currently are using manganese greensand and are feeding sodium aluminate, you will likely be able to eliminate the aluminate feed by switching to GreensandPlus. Also, GreensandPlus can withstand higher operating temperatures and higher differential pressures than can manganese greensand. The higher differential pressure may allow for a longer run length, but, if nothing else, allows for more operational margin of error.
GreensandPlus™ is a purple-gray filter media used for removing soluble iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, arsenic and radium from well water supplies.
Like its sister product manganese greensand, the substrate media has a manganese dioxide coated surface that acts as a catalyst in the oxidation- reduction reaction of iron and manganese. The difference between GreensandPlus™ and Manganese Greensand is in the substrate that forms the core of the media and the method by which the manganese dioxide coating is attached to that substrate. GreensandPlus™ has a silica sand core and the coating is fused to it while Manganese Greensand has a glauconite core and the coating is ionically bound to it.

The higher differential pressure may allow for a longer run length, but, if nothing else, allows for more operational margin of error.
Along with the added benefits comes the fact that GreensandPlus™ is an exact replacement for manganese greensand. It can be used in CR and IR applications and requires no changes in backwash rate or times or chemical feeds. GreensandPlus™ has received the WQA Gold Seal Certification for compliance with NSF/ANSI 61.
