So I got my fleck 5600SXT 48K system and I'm in need of optimal settings. I scrolled through the master menu and have changed a few values. I have placed notes in areas I don't' know, please assist. One thig to note is that I used the HACH 5B hardness test and found my water to be between 10 - 11 GPG. The water was labrortory tested at .31ppm of iron. I have about 4 ppl in my family. I"m on a well.
DF: GAL
VT: St1b (default)
CT: Fd (Default), I understand this to be the regeneration method, FD means it regenerates once the system reaches a certian amount of water use AND it reaches 2:00am to regenerate. However, when you do this you will still have some leftover soft water that is wasted. What's the impact (besides a small moment of hard water) of changing this so that it regenerates once it reaches 0 gallons and in the middle of the day. Maybe I don't understand this setting
NT: 1 tank (why is this setting here, can this system take an extra tank?)
C: I'm confused on this setting, I have a 48K system, I currently have it set at 48 x 1000 (48,000), I contacted the company and they indicated to set it 30% less. However, other instructions indicate to keep it 30% less, I don't know what the existing setting was because I changed it to 48K and I assumed the existing settings were BS and were required to be set by the user upon install.
H: I have this set at 11, however I have .31ppm of iron, should I consider this?
RS: Reserve Capacity, someone explain this to me, not sure what to set this at
SF: Safety factor ????
DO: Day override, I understand what this is for, but I'm curious curious what is the impact of disabling this feature, I read some that say to just disable this unless you have a vaca home etc... The distributor is saying that bacteria can grow in the tank if the water sits in there too long?? I currently disabled it to save water and salt, Should I keep this at 14 days maybe? Can this damage my resin bed etc if I keep this disabled?
RT: Regen time, I understand
BW : 10 mins currently
BD: 60 mins currently
RR: 10 mins currently
BF: Not sure what this should be set at
FM = t0.7 I believe this is default.
More questions will follow...
