I have lived in this house for 36 years and always have had a water softner. Last fall I read an article that said that one should change resin after 15 to 20 years and our water softner was not producing the softness that I like so I purchase new resin and put in the fine resin that is suggested for well water. Now I have so much iron coming through that dish washer gets red inside and the dishes get stained red also. So to try and solve the problem I put on a new control head, which is a Pentair Autotrol 460i still having the same problem. I use iron out with each batch of salt put into the brine tank. The brine tank is 8 inches by 40 inches. The grain of iron per gallon of water has been set as high as 50 does not help and the capacity has been set as high as 40 no help. The factory has asked me to put the two settings back to 30 and 24 so I have. I also have put the salt setting as high as it goes but still no help.
So if any one has any good ideas I sure would like to hear them. The only thing that is not new is the tank and that does nothing except hold water.
