I'm about to install a softener and thanks to this forum I feel well armed. I'd appreciate some feedback.
First, our stats.
Incoming city water pressure: 70psi
Main water line: 3/4" copper
SFR of one spigot: 8.43gpm
Highest average water usage: 150gpd (two people + irrigation)
Compensated hardness: 20gpg (.42 iron included)
TDS: 360
So 150gpd x 20 = 3,000 x 8 days = 24,000 grains
I have a 1.5cuft mineral tank to cover the max SFR, Fleck 5600 SXT valve, and plan on using a salt dose of 8lbs. Does that sound about right?
