I have a Fleck 5000 water softener. I have been watching all the videos on progamming to make sure I have this thing setup right, so my questions are below if someone can help. ( Fleck 5000 sxt & the round brine tank 18" x 33" )

1. Why no battery backup or am I missing something?
2. The Brine tank never has any water in it, should it some of the videos say it depends on the model

Thanks for any feedback and Help :)

SXT does not have battery backup. It uses a large capacitor that last several hours to hold the time. If you lose power for an extended period of time, all settings are remembered except for the time.
No water in the brine tank.. post your settings. Set time to 12:01 p.m.... its in the manual.
