In post #73, you state BD (brine draw) is currently programmed as 6 minutes. Was that a typing mistake or is it really set to 6?
BD is commonly set to 60 minutes. If the setting is actually 6 minutes, then brine will not be rinsed from the resin bed so when soft water flow resumes after regeneration, then the soft water to faucets will be salty to taste.
In addition, since brine usually takes approx 15 minutes to be drawn from the brine tank, then more than 50% of the brine made for that regen cycle, will not be used and will remain in the brine tank. The BF cycle occuring at the end, will add additional water to prepare the programmed quantity of brine for the next regen cycle. This then results in an increasingly high liquid quantity in the brine tank which your earlier post seems to suggest is occuring.
