Hi, below is a picture of my current softener that has recently started regenerating randomly and making strange noises. The water has also not been soft recently. Rather than fix my current valve head, I would rather replace it since our household of 2 (wife and I) use a very low amount of water. I would prefer to get a digital valve head instead to hopefully reduce wasted water and salt. The resin was replaced last year after the basket broke sending resin through my whole house.
Main water line below measures 1-1/8" OD but it has a reducer measuring 7/8" OD.

I have not tested my water, but our city states a hardness of 17.5 grains per gallon. I've been looking at the Fleck 5600sxt and was hoping to get some opinions. Based on the info above, would this suit our needs and work fine given the tank and water line size? Do you think the 5600sxt will be sufficient once we have 1-2 kids? Is there any reason to upgrade to the 7000sxt?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
