    Water level in brine tank vs float tube

    I have the gallons per regen set at 600. That may be too low. At this point I would just like the brine used in a regen cycle be equal to the refill amount. I am sure I don't have the skills to do this correctly. I hate to leave the water softener to the new owner in a "not working" properly...

    Water level in brine tank vs float tube

    How would you achieve a balance between the amount of brine water used for a cycle and the amount added back in the last stage. My brine stage is 60mins and with a 5 min. refill the water level is higher than it was before the cycle. I will reduce the refill to 4 mins and see what happens. It...

    Water level in brine tank vs float tube

    the water level in the float tube is 4 inches higher than the level in the brine tank. Is that OK? the float itself should be 6 inches above the water in the float tube. Is that correct? If the float is high will a brine draw happen or will the high float prevent a brine draw? thanks

    Water level--brine tank vs brine well, where the float is

    The water level in the brine well, where the float is, is 3-4 inches above the level in the tank. Why is that? thanks

    Fleck 5600SE 4 stage water level issues

    I guess my settings are pretty good. The 13 min refill has dumped about a gallon out the overflow so I'll cut that time back. How much actual brine water is used during a brine draw? I thought it would be a few gallons but I guess not. Brian

    Reverse osmosis longevity question

    I don't like taking up a lot of your time with this, but I guess that's what this forum is for. We asked the previous owners to have the system installed due to high arsenic levels 10 yrs ago. They were charged $700.00 for it. It looks exactly like the systems available on ebay for $150.00...

    Reverse osmosis longevity question

    Thanks, I will continue with my past regime. Concerning sanitizing the system how thorough should I be. I replace the elements and clean the housings every 6 months. Should the tubing be replaced? it's 10 years old next march. Briian

    Reverse osmosis longevity question

    I've heard that it isn't wise to leave an RO system dormant for any length of time. We spend 6 months away from home each winter which is why in the past I've drained it wasting several gallons of good water, then replacing all the filters in the spring. Is it really necessary to do this or can...

    Reverse Osmosis acting up

    I am in Florida until may which is when I replace all 4 filters. I believe the problem to be the auto shut off. I will replace that piece al OK no with the filters in may and see what PPM reading is. Thanks

    Reverse Osmosis acting up

    I got a tds meter and have a reading of .o95 at the spout and 400 from the unfiltered side. The spigot at the sink for the RO is metal. Will that raise the reading just by going through a metal spigot? It's funny that I get a reading of 076 from the refrigerator water. Thanks

    Permeate pump

    Not sure this is the place for this question. Do Permeate pumps work for RO system pressure boosting? Just hooked up a new ice maker and it isn't working too well Thanks

    Reverse Osmosis acting up

    It was working as usual since April when the filters were changed. It's only the last couple weeks that it has been "outperforming" itself. My concern is that somehow the membrane is being bypassed and I'm getting well water in my holding tank. Is that even possible? Brian

    Reverse Osmosis acting up

    Have a 7 yr old RO system. Over the years you get used to how the flow and regen' works. Lately it seems to be flowing stronger and regenerating quicker. Can the valve in these stick or otherwise malfunction? All the 4 filters are but 3 moths old. Thanks

    Winterizing my softener

    We live in florida in the winter and are wondering if there is anything we should do to our softener for this time. Usually we just turn off the water at the well and leave. When we get home in the spring I run it through two cycles. thanks
