Water softener (requires 120V outlet + drain line)
UV sterilizer (requires 120V outlet, install last before house entry)
Electrical Requirements
Three systems need power: the iron filter, the water softener, and the UV sterilizer. You need 3 available 120V outlets in your utility area. The acid neutralizer and sediment filter are fully passive.
Drain Requirements
The iron filter and water softener need drain lines for backwash and regeneration. Route 1/2" tubing to a floor drain, utility sink, or outside (max 20 feet each).
Space Planning
Plan for roughly 6-8 linear feet of wall space. The three tanks (iron, acid neutralizer, softener) are 10-13 inches in diameter. The UV sterilizer mounts horizontally on the wall. The Big Blue housing is compact and mounts vertically.
Time Estimate
Most homeowners finish in 5-8 hours over a weekend. If you hire a plumber, they can call Aidan at 800-460-5810 for help with valve programming.
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. Takes 5 minutes.
Iron / Sulfur AIO Filter Minimal
The Fleck 2510AIO backwashes automatically on a schedule you set during installation. Katalox-Light media lasts 7-10+ years under normal conditions. No media changes unless iron levels are extreme.
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 your usage.
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.

Just Bought a Home on Well Water?
This Covers Everything Most Wells Need
If you just bought a home on well water, there is a good chance you are dealing with more than one water problem. Iron turns fixtures orange. Low pH corrodes your pipes from the inside out. Hard water leaves white scale on everything. And bacteria in untreated well water is a real concern, especially if you have kids.
This 5-stage system handles all of it in the correct treatment order. Sediment is trapped first. Iron and sulfur are oxidized and filtered out. The acid neutralizer raises pH to neutral. The water softener removes hardness minerals. And the UV sterilizer kills 99.99% of bacteria and viruses as the final step before water enters your home.
Every stage is properly sized to work with the others. All media is included, all tanks are Vortech gravel-free, and all valves are professional-grade. If you do not know what to get, this is the safe default. Free shipping to the lower 48.

Frequently Asked Questions
Start with a water test. Most wells in the US have some combination of iron, low pH, hardness, and bacteria. This 5-stage system covers all four of those problems plus sediment filtration. If your water test comes back with all or most of these issues (which is the most common scenario), this is the system to get. Call Aidan at 800-460-5810 with your test results and he will confirm whether this is the right fit or if you can skip a stage.
Get a lab water test. Our well water test kit covers all the key parameters: iron, pH, hardness, manganese, bacteria, and more. Once you have the results, call us and we will walk through them with you. If you already have test results from your home inspection or county health department, those work too.
Maybe not. If your water test shows no iron, you can skip the iron filter. If pH is already neutral, you can skip the acid neutralizer. But most wells we see have at least 3-4 of these problems. This package is built around what most wells actually need, and it saves $450 compared to buying each system individually. Call Aidan and he will tell you honestly whether you need all 5 or can drop a stage.
This system is sized for a typical home with 2-4 bathrooms and 2-5 people. The 48,000 grain softener and 1.5 cubic foot acid neutralizer handle normal household flow without oversizing. If you have 5+ bathrooms or very high water demand, call us and we will recommend a larger configuration. If you have a smaller home (1-2 bathrooms), this system still works perfectly.
Most of our customers install themselves. You do not need to be a plumber, just comfortable with basic tools and PEX or copper connections. Plan 5-8 hours over a weekend. Aidan walks first-time installers through every step over the phone at 800-460-5810, 7 days a week. If you prefer a plumber, that works too. They can call Aidan for help with the Fleck valve programming.
Call us. Not every well needs all 5 stages, and some wells have unusual problems like tannins, PFAS, or very high iron that need different equipment. Aidan at 800-460-5810 will review your water test and build you a custom recommendation. We would rather sell you the right system than the most expensive one.
5-Stage Whole House We...$5,995.00
Why a 5-Stage System Costs More
Professional Components vs. Budget Alternatives
What You Get With Budget Systems
Budget well water bundles cut corners in ways that are hard to spot until you are living with the system: undersized tanks that cannot keep up during showers, cheap resin that degrades in 2-3 years, timer-based valves that waste salt whether you used water or not, and partial media fills you need to top off immediately. Many skip the UV sterilizer entirely.
Worse, most online retailers offer little to no support after the sale. When you are standing in your basement with 5 systems to connect and no idea which goes first, 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
These 5 systems cost $6,445 purchased individually. This package saves $450 and ensures everything arrives together, properly sized and ready to install. The 10% crosslink resin lasts 20-30% longer than the standard 8% resin used in budget packages. The complete system, with UV protection included, gives you peace of mind from day one.
What You Get With Our System
This package uses the same professional-grade components we have been selling for 29+ years: a Fleck 2510AIO for iron removal, a Clack C1190 non-backwashing acid neutralizer, a Fleck 5600SXT softener with 10% crosslink resin, and a Viqua VH410 UV sterilizer. 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 the system. For first-time well owners, that support alone is worth the difference.

The Industry "Return Policy" Trap
+
Most online retailers offer a return policy that requires you to ship everything back at your expense. For a 5-stage system on a pallet, that is $400-500 in return freight alone. Then a 15-25% restocking fee on top. It is designed to make returns impractical.
How Our Real Guarantee Works
1
The System Doesn't Fix Your Water
If your water test still shows problems after installation, that is on us.
2
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.
If you just moved to a home with well water and you are not sure where to start, this is the system I recommend. It covers the 4 most common well water problems plus bacteria, which is especially important if you have kids or are just not comfortable drinking untreated well water yet. Call me with your water test and I will tell you if this is the right fit.
