I am on a 110' private well, plenty of water, but lots of silt. The well can't go any deeper for fear of collapsing the walls. I am going from the well to the pressure tank, than to the Fleck 7000sxt single tank being used as a backwash filter, than to a Fleck 9100sxt dual tank used as the softener, than a Rusco filter, than a GE whole house filter and finally to the house. The reason for the last two filters is that the silt is honestly that fine that some of it gets to that point. My question is that the Fleck 7000sxt was leaking through the backwash line and always streaming (it's set up as a grey water line) so I disassembled the unit and cleaned it out, reassembled it using plumbers grease, but now it sounds like water is constantly running through it. If I set the valves to bypass the sound goes away. When I disassembled the unit the distributor tube and diffuser cone pulled out so I had to lay the tank on its side to get the media to the side and get the tube back in. Not sure if this had something to do with it or not. I'm thinking about tearing it back down but would like to hear some input.
