Looking at purchasing either Fleck 5600sxt or 7000sxt, 32,000 grain. Looking deeper into the warranty it states the brine tank under 13" has the 10 year warranty, 14" and over is 5 year. Is that correct? Don't know a lot about water softeners - what criteria do you use to choose the size of the brine tank - benefit of each size? The online dealer lets you choose which one. I would rather pick the one with the longer warranty, but not sure of the benefits to a small vs. larger tank.
They also give you the option to choose the plumbing connection to be noryl, stainless or brass - which is best?
In choosing between the two models what is the main factor to consider? We don't have a newer larger home as the 7000 suggest it benefits. But I like the idea of better pressure and soft water refill on brine. Our home is older, 3/4" pipe, 3 bath with 3 people, so I'm sure the 5600 would work great. Just trying to weigh the benefits of the newer 7000 model.
