I have the Hach HA-71A hardness test kit and have been testing my hardness since I installed my softener. My hardness after softening is 0ppm and I wait until 1 gpg as considered by threshold for break through.
I have been routinely getting 41k grains on 4lbs salt/ft3 resin. 1.5 ft3 of SST 60
This means I am getting 6800 grains per lb/salt.
This seems way way above average
I read and used the calculator at http://www.qualitywaterassociates.com/softeners/sizingchart.htm
and it seems this is way above average and anything out of the "average" raises flags for me.
Just checking to see what you all think?
Thanks in advance for any help.
