Very true. With said then I will go w/the recommended settings you have stated before of: Backwash: 10 min Brine/slow rinse: 45 minutes Fast rinse: 3 minutes Brine fill: 3 minutes (assumes salt dose of 4.5 lbs, capacity of 15K, and BLFC of 0.5 gpm) Then I will make adjustments accordingly to...

I have no idea what to think which is why I'm asking. These settings are pre-existing. I haven't touched a thing. I just recently learned how to access these settings and some formulas you all gave me. So I'm trying to combine all the information you given and set up this water softener...

So here are my current settings: Capacity: 19 (base off of 24k max cap. X 80%)...I guess. Backwash: 8 minutes Brine Draw/Slow Rinse: 50 minutes Rapid Rinse: 4 minutes Brine Tank Fill: 4 minutes Are these settings acceptable or is there a better option?

I have uploaded a couple of picks of the head unit. We are on well water and there are only two adults in the house. I won't be able to test the water until tonight so hopefully I'll have the results to you by tomorrow.

Thanks for the response. I will gather the information as soon as I can and then update you.

I apologize in advance if this info is already out there but I can't find it and that is why I'm here. Like many others I recently purchased a house and I quickly realized I know nothing about water softeners. But this is what I do know: I have a Cole and Massey water softener that has a...
