I'm limping along with a Fleck 5600, perhaps with multiple issues. Had it serviced a couple years ago, had some new resin put in. I'd had it set for 1000 gallons before regen ever since then. Recently noticed that water was hard before the 1000 gallons were up. Inspected tank and I'd bought some cheaper salt a while back and I saw a good bit of dirt in the tank. Did a half-ass clean out of the water sitting on top of the salt (there was maybe 30lb left), and put some better salt in.
Some relevant info as to what I've been seeing:
Thanks!
Some relevant info as to what I've been seeing:
- It was very hard for me to change the gallon settings the first time. Like the gears were not aligned. Didn't want to force it but my fingers hurt a bit after that. It's easier now.
- Regen *sometimes* messes up my gallon settings. I'll come back after, and it will be set to something crazy like 3200 gallons. Seen this twice, but not the last time.
- Water in tank looks clean.
- Water in tank seems too high. I have about 1 ft of salt in tank, and 2 ft of water above that.
- Checking for salt bridge brings up dirty sediment.
- After several reductions, now have settings for regen at 600 gallons. Been trying to find the best setting.
Thanks!
