It got to the point where the 7000 needed yet another piston & seal set, so I threw in the towel and got a 5810SXT along with new media on our 15-year old softener. I am not quite sure I have the settings correct.
Water lab test shows hardness 21gpg, iron 0.16ppm and manganese .298ppm.
The resin manufacturer's website says to use 15lbs of salt per cu ft to get maximum capacity, but I now see that 7.5lbs/cu ft is a more efficient use of salt which is how I got to the 30 min brine fill time.
It seems like the #1 injector is undersized for my application but I am not sure if that's a real issue or not.
------------------------------
Resin Vol: 3.5 cu-ft
BLFC: 0.25 gpm
DLFC: How can I find this and is it important? The sticker says "Drain Flow gpm" but doesn't have a number there.
Injector: #1 (white)
