Hi there,
I recently purchased a new home with a dug well water supply. The previous owner has installed quite a water softener system. There are numerous resin tanks (three tall tanks, two shorter ones) and two brine bins. The two shorter resin tanks have a manual regeneration scheduler I think set via a screwdriver while the other larger tanks have a electronic timer/controller set to run once a week for 14 mins. I am quite confused as the one brine bin goes through salt like crazy while the other one rarely needs to be filled up. What is the best approach for coordinating backwashes, etc with such a system? Is there any maintenance recommended for water softeners? If so, how often and what do I need to do?
Thanks in advance,
Fred
