I've been reading and researching Katalox light and water filters, I'm at the point where the more i read the less i know. I currently have a water filter from cleanmywater.com. It was a good filter for a few years but now it doesn't do anything. I also have a well pro automatic pellet chlorinato. The existing equipment is as follows
13x54 tank with a fleck 2510 valve (it was sold as an all in one softener/filter)
8x44 tank with a fleck 5600 backwash only valve (used as a carbon pre-filter)
well pro automatic well pellet chloranator
I have a slight orangish/greenish tint to my water, it tastes like iron, and it leaves slight orange stains in my toilets.
I read about KAR industries water test and have included the results, i can't figure out how to insert the PDF they sent me.
iron 0.58 mg/l
TDS 632 mg/l
potassium total 2.0 mg/l
sodium total 16.8 mg/l
hardness 27.1 grains per gallon
ph 7.6
well puts out 11.5 gpm
My goal is to reuse as much of my equipment as possible. i was thinking of 2 options.
first would be convert the softener/filter i currently have to a softener only, buy a complete katalox light filter (not sure how to determine size), and buy new carbon media for the 8x44 tank
Second would be to use the 13x54 tank and 2510 valve for the katalox ( i would have to convert it to a backwash only valve), buy a new water softener, and get new carbon media for the 8x44 tank.
what option do you think is better and why?
Thanks for an awesome web site, Andrew
