    That's why I was hoping to find someone local to help me. Also, I have messed with that nut tightening it to help stop the air from leaking when drawing brine. Its an ongoing issue I believe.

    Clack WS1 Maintenance - SoCal - Need Local Company

    Bannerman I think 3) not all of the brine that is produced is being drawn into the media tank is part of it. Reach4 yes, is that when the salt hardens into chunks? I will try to post the settings as soon as I can. There seems to be a lot of brine water, that concentration is not enough I assume...

    Clack WS1 Carbon Filter System - Backwash Frequency

    Its very rare that the softener and carbon filter will both regen/backwash at the same time? I have been running Carbon filter backwash every 2 weeks for 2.5 years. Was that not a good idea? Hopefully didnt drastically reduce lifespan of Carbon resin.

    Water Softener + Carbon Filter while on vacation

    Hello, I am leaving on vacation for two weeks. Should I shut off the carbon filter and water softener? Is there any issue If i let both on their normal cycles while away? My carbon filter regenerates every two weeks, should I set it to one month? I am on municipal water in a city. Thank you.

    Clack WS1 Water Softener Issues

    Just measured raw water at 17 GPG. I did what Reach4 suggested. The hardness setting was set to 18, so I upped it to 19. Regen ran, but what is weird is that I heard the water softener doing its thing at 3am and then again at 4am. I also probably need to check the brine line, I heard air in the...

    Clack WS1 Water Softener Issues

    System is a little over 2 years old. When should one expect to replace the resin? So you agree like the others to change hardness to 17 or more manual setting?

    Btw I still have 1200 gallons before the next cycle. Is there a rush to add the water? When you say clean water, I can add hard raw water? Or should i add the softened water?

    In Line Water Softener + Deinoizer System

    Yeah but I am bit weary of their claims. Is there a filter I could put on the bib that would just remove minerals IF the water was already soft and carbon filtered? A filter that would remove any cations/anions? Deionized water.
