Call before you install. With 5 stages, placement and plumbing order matter. Aidan walks customers through the layout over the phone. Call 800-460-5810 with your basement or utility room dimensions.

Installation Order (From Well to House)

Pressure tank (your existing tank)
Sediment filter (Big Blue housing)
Acid neutralizer (no power, no drain)
Water softener (requires 120V outlet + drain line)
Carbon filter (no power, no drain)
UV sterilizer (requires 120V outlet, install last before house entry)

Electrical Requirements

Two systems need power: the water softener and the UV sterilizer. You will need 2 available 120V outlets in your utility area. The acid neutralizer, carbon filter, and sediment filter are fully passive.

Drain Requirements

The water softener needs a drain line for regeneration. Route 1/2" tubing to a floor drain, utility sink, or outside (max 20 feet).

Space Planning

Plan for roughly 6-7 linear feet of wall space. The acid neutralizer and carbon tanks are 13" in diameter, the softener tank is 10", plus the 18" brine tank. The UV sterilizer mounts horizontally on the wall and the Big Blue housing is compact.

Time Estimate

Most homeowners complete the full install in 4-8 hours over a weekend. If you hire a plumber, they can call Aidan at 800-460-5810 for programming help with the Fleck valve.

Sediment Filter Every 3-6 months

Replace the 5-micron cartridge when flow drops or it looks dirty. Unscrew the housing with the included wrench, swap the cartridge, and reinstall.

Acid Neutralizer Every 12-18 months

Add calcite through the fillport when the media level drops to about 2/3 full. No valve removal needed. Calcite is available in 50 lb bags.

Water Softener Monthly salt check

Keep the brine tank at least 1/4 full with salt. Most homes go through a 40 lb bag every 4-8 weeks. The Fleck 5600SXT regenerates automatically based on usage.

Carbon Filter Every 3-5 years

Non-backwashing carbon eventually exhausts. When taste or odor returns, replace the activated carbon media (pour out old, pour in new through the fillport).

UV Sterilizer Annual lamp swap

Replace the UV lamp once a year (the controller counts down lamp hours). Clean the quartz sleeve during replacement. Replacement lamps available here.

Questions about maintenance? Call or text 800-460-5810, available 7 days a week.

Complete Guide to Well Water Filtration

Acid Neutralizer and Water Softener: Do You Need Both?

How to Install an Acid Neutralizer

Why Choose a 5-Stage Well Water System?

The Complete Solution for Wells Without Iron

Well water problems rarely come alone. Low pH corrodes copper pipes from the inside out and leaches metals into your drinking water. Hard water leaves white scale on everything it touches. Sediment clogs fixtures and shortens appliance life. And bacteria can make untreated well water unsafe to drink. This 5-stage system handles all of it in the correct treatment order. Sediment is trapped first. The acid neutralizer raises pH to neutral. The water softener removes hardness minerals. The carbon filter polishes taste and removes chemical contaminants. And the UV sterilizer kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses as the final step before water enters your home. If your water test shows iron above 0.3 ppm, you need a package with an iron filter instead. Not sure? Call Aidan at 800-460-5810 with your water test results.

Frequently Asked Questions

This 5-stage system handles low pH (acidic water), hardness and scale, sediment, taste and odor, and bacteria. It does NOT include iron removal. If your water test shows iron above 0.3 ppm, you need a package with an iron filter instead. Not sure? Call Aidan at 800-460-5810 with your water test results.

Not every well has iron. If your water test shows iron below 0.3 ppm, adding an iron filter is unnecessary equipment and cost. This system is built specifically for wells where pH, hardness, taste, and bacteria are the problems. If you do have iron, we sell packages that include it.

Same 5 stages, different softener size. This package uses the 48,000 grain softener, sized for households of roughly 1-4 people with moderate hardness. The Complete Well Water System upgrades to the 64,000 grain softener for larger homes and harder water. Call 800-460-5810 with your hardness number and household size and we will tell you which size fits.

Yes, most of our customers do. Aidan walks people through the full installation over the phone, 7 days a week. The most important part is getting the systems in the right order (sediment first, UV last) and making sure plumbing connections are tight. Plan 4-8 hours over a weekend. If you hire a plumber, they can call Aidan directly for help with the Fleck valve programming.

The biggest recurring items are: salt for the softener (a 40 lb bag every 4-8 weeks), calcite for the acid neutralizer (top off every 12-18 months), sediment filter cartridges (every 3-6 months), and the UV lamp (once a year). The carbon media lasts 3-5 years before needing replacement. None of these tasks are complicated. We have guides for each one and you can always call us if you need help.

Purchasing all 5 stages together saves $400 compared to buying each system individually. Everything ships on the same pallet, arrives at the same time, and is supported by the same expert from start to finish. We also pre-match the sizing across all stages so you do not end up with a bottleneck where one system is undersized for the rest.

5-Stage Well Water System: Acid Neutralizer, 48K Softener, Carbon Filter & UV

5-Stage Well Water Sys... $5,975.00

What You Get With Budget Systems

Budget well water filter bundles cut corners where it counts: undersized tanks that cannot keep up with real household flow rates, cheap resin that degrades in a few years, timer-based regeneration that wastes salt and water, and partial media fills that need immediate topping off.

Worse, most online retailers offer little to no support after the sale. When you are standing in your basement with five systems to connect and a question about install order or valve programming, you are on your own.

The Real Cost Comparison

Budget 'Whole House' Bundle

$2,500-4,000

❌ Lifespan: Fails in 3-4 years
❌ Result: Frequent repairs, poor water quality, leaks
❌ Support: None

$1.00-1.30/day (shorter component life, more maintenance)

Best Long-Term Value

Our 5-Stage System

$5,975

✅ Lifespan: Lasts 15+ years
✅ Result: Done right the first time, peace of mind
✅ Support: Lifetime USA Support

$0.55/day over a 30-year system life

When you factor in the premium components, full media fills, and unlimited expert support, this system delivers better long-term value than budget alternatives that need more frequent media replacement, waste more salt, and leave you without help when something needs adjustment. The 10% crosslink resin alone lasts 20-30% longer than the standard 8% resin used in budget packages.

What You Get With Our System

This package uses the same professional-grade components we have been selling for 29+ years: a Clack C1190 non-backwashing acid neutralizer, Fleck 5600SXT softener valve, 10% crosslink softener resin, a Clack C1190 non-backwashing carbon filter, and a Viqua VH410 UV sterilizer rated for 18 GPM. Every tank is Vortech gravel-free for better flow and easier service.

You also get Aidan on the phone 7 days a week. Before the purchase, during installation, and for the life of your system. That alone is worth more than most people realize until they need it.

10,000+ Systems Installed

455+ Verified Reviews

29+ Success Rate

After 29+ years of selling and supporting water treatment systems, we know what works. This is our complete package for wells without iron, built for homeowners who want pH, hardness, taste, and bacteria handled in one properly-matched system. We pair proven components because that combination delivers years of trouble-free performance.

The Industry "Return Policy" Trap +

Most online retailers offer a return policy that requires you to ship everything back at your expense. For a system this size, that is 400+ pounds of wet equipment on a pallet. After paying $400+ in return freight, you often find a 15-25% restocking fee on top. It is designed to make returns impractical.

How Our Real Guarantee Works

The System Doesn't Fix Your Water

If your water test still shows problems after installation, that is on us. Every stage should be performing.

You Call Us, We Fix It

We troubleshoot with you: water test results, installation order, valve settings, flow rates. Most issues are resolved with a simple adjustment.

Full Refund, No Hassle

If we cannot resolve the issue, you get a full refund. We handle the logistics. You do not ship anything back. That is the difference between a real guarantee and a return policy.

This is the system I recommend when someone calls with a well that has low pH, hardness, taste issues, and bacteria, but no iron. Instead of paying for an iron filter you do not need, you get five properly-matched stages from one company with one person to call. Not sure if you have iron? Call me with your water test and I will tell you exactly what you need.
