    New water softener programming/setting.

    Bringing this back up just to review. Currently my system is set to everything I mentioned on the first page. It's a 1.5 cu/ft softener. Kcap is currently at: 37000 Salt/regen:9 (I believe this means 6 lb/ft3, correct) Day override:5 I recently looked at my water usage for the past 60...

    Iron filtration system for irrigation system

    I would require at least 10-12 gmp. One detail I left out was that I have a little tannin in my water....if that makes any difference on the setup. Just exploring options at this point. If I went for a sandpoint, I would be hoping to be higher than that (12-15 gmp).

    Iron filtration system for irrigation system

    Are there any decent solution for an iron removal system for my yard irrigation, or something that could handle both irrigation and my home system. Currently I am removing iron (3-3.6 ppm) with the softener. I am trying to figure out ways to keep rust stains off the hard scapes. A...

    New water softener programming/setting.

    How does one go about this? And thanks, the rest makes sense. Would it hurt anything for me to drop down to 6 lb per ft, from the 9? It looks like it would cost around the following for the chlorine/tank/GAC system Carbon backwash filtration system: 575 Pump: 460 15 g Tank: $120 Are there...

    Here are the specs from the spec sheet, if that matters. I have the 150 model.

    New water softener programming/setting.

    Compensated hardness = 24 (I set this) K of capacity = 37 x 1000 Salt dose = 9 Gallons between regens = 1541 Day override = 5 (I set this) Over the past 9 days (since the softener was installed), we have not used over 95 gallons in a day with my family of 4. And only 2-3 of those were over 90...

    New water softener programming/setting.

    The softener came setup from 3M, I assume with their settings in the clack valve. They had set the salt dose at 9. Do I still need to make adjustment to it. Your site says"If you have 2.0 ppm or more of iron, you may want to regenerate every 3-4 days." My system has fine mesh resin, and I...

    New water softener programming/setting.

    Are they correct in that the tannins could foul a iron filter? If so, what would be the recommendation on how to proceed to remove the iron that would not be fouled by tannins. In the long run, I don't have the knowledge to know how soon an iron filter would be fouled as compared to the water...

    New water softener programming/setting.

    My hardness listed above is either 7 or 10, depending one which test you guy by. I calculated using 4 grains per ppm of iron, I seem to see it anywhere from 3-5 depending on who you talk to. I know I should be somewhere around 20-25...and understand that it is not the most efficient. I have...

    New water softener programming/setting.

    Will it be using 3x the salt because I should be regenerating every 4-5 days like I have it set up, so I currently have it running properly? Or, should I let it run at factory settings and remove the day override? Could I drop my salt dosage down to 6 instead of 9, since we are not using the...

    New water softener programming/setting.

    It's a model with 1.5 cu/ft fine mesh resin (manf: 3m Aqua-pure, formerly Cuno), vs the standard model which had the hi-cap resin. I think I only used 600-700 gallons of the 1550 or so it said I had useable after it regenerated the first time. but again I set the day override at 5 days.....so...

    New water softener programming/setting.

    Hi there, first time poster here but long time viewer. I just built a new home and just got the water softener installed along with a inline filter. Everything is plumbed 3/4" Pex, and then has 1/2" Pex going to fixtures. I installed the following units: Aqua-pure CWS150ME, which has fine...
