So I got this water softener a little over a year ago. After installing I kept noticing hard water stains but never tested my water. So I finally bought a test kit to see if there was something wrong with the water softener and it turns out something is up. The water coming out of the softener is the same hardness as my house water outside pre water softener.
I did a bunch of googling, which led me to removing all of the salt from the brine tank, cleaning it, running some iron out through my system, regenerating the system 2 more times after that and nothing...I'm at a loss as to why this system isn't working, it's practically brand new. Here are some of the system settings:
Fleck 5600 SXT controller
48,000 Grain unit (1.5 cu.ft of resin)
Set it up for 6 pounds of salt / cu.ft.
Set to 30k grains and 6 min brine fill at .5 gpm
At this point, I have a feeling there is physically something wrong with it. The brine tank drains, so I know there are no clogs and the brine is getting into the resin tank. What could possibly be going on here and what types of tests should I do to eliminate certain issues?
