Thanks again all.
Im pretty close now to buying and i know i would have made a mistake or spent a ton of cash if it wasnt for you!!
so we narrowed it down to a 1.5 cuft. with standard resin
Will this prevent all staining?\
i should also add a turbiditor (sp?)
and res-up with dispensor.
i dont need a whole house filter. but would it be a good thing to add?\a carbon might make the water taste better?\\
as to the differences in test results, there was very lillte extra water ran from the rep until i took my sample for the lab. maybe 50 gallons. theyre was around 50 gallons ran before the reps test.\ there has been about 500 gallons used since we took possession of the house/
ive decided illl likely buy from these guys as they seem to have the best prices up here when shippings included. http://www.aquatell.com/canada/water-softeners/clack-water-softeners/clack-water-softener-canada-45000-grain
it has a clack head which i want and 1.5 cuft resin. they sell it as a 45k unit. for 759 cad.
would that unit work
thanks again
i should add: all fixtures wil be low flow. theyre is one full bath and a 1/2 bath.
theyre will be a front load washer and a efficent dish washer as well. i think this should put us under the 12 gpm peak??
Staining, It will , with salt settings and gallon settings, cleaning settings dialed to your needs.
Turbo would be a very good idea as it would give an extra to the cleaning cycle and make sure that ALL of the resin gets to spend time at the top of the resin column.
Just put some iron out between the bags of salt and save a piece of equipment and the need for that resin cleaner..
Leave room for a whole house big blue carbon filter, but for now run with out it and see if you need it, if you need it later you can always add it later, but one step at a time...
Your well pump out put is the highest that you are going to hit.. ie if it has a max of 10gpm then that is the best that you would ever be able to do...
Then over the next year or so get a home test kit from a box store or on line and check the untreated water like every 6 months to see if there is any changes to the water , then change the settings on the softener if needed.. and all will be good.
