Hi mialynette2003, please read my post under "Brine tank filling during brining" and let me know what you think. I am not familiar with either of your product lines, but am looking to replace my current unit. Thanks for your consideration.

Hello, I recently replaced the bottom distributor on my GXSF27E01 GE softener when I started noticing beads in my no-longer-soft water. Luckily I caught it in time and only a couple of my faucet aerators were affected. I proceeded to replace the resin and the O-rings from the valve to the tank...
