I posted almost a year ago about my early 90's Culligan softener and water conditioner. I was able to get them going for a while, but now the conditioner seems to be taking a dive. It blows though a gallon of hydrogen peroxide in a matter of days (possibly in one rinse) and although we have some iron issues, the sulfur smell is a problem as well. I have purchased a new 5.5 gallon pressure tank and a CSV1A, and they are waiting to be installed. I would like to do the whole shebang at once, if possible. Which leads me to my question....
I have been looking into, the combo softener and iron filter all-in-ones. Does anyone have any opinions they'd like to share on these types of units? The ones I have seen mostly have the Fleck 5600SXT, but they provide little info on how they differ from ordinary water softeners.
Magnesium, total 47.3 mg/L
Potassium, total 1.8 mg/L
Iron, total 0.5 mg/L
Sodium, total 23.3 mg/L
Strontium, total 3.2 mg/L
Sulfur, total, by ICP 93.2 mg/L
Fluoride 0.61 mg/L
Hardness (gpg) 29.4 grains/gallon
PH 7.8 S.U.
Silica 23.5 mg/L
Tot. diss. solids, estimated 645 mg/L
