Well, water now feeling slick as I was expecting so I guess it was washing out the lines, water heater, whatever. Now to get waterspots off of everything from the prior hard water.

I dont mind the slick feeling. You just have to retrain your mind that the slickness is not residual soap.

Used sharkbite valves to set up the bypass. Dont think there is any significant leak (couldnt hear anything when I close the valve and there was no flow whatsover) The water is definitely more slick than baseline water. I will give it some time and if there is any doubt, will test the water...

When you say clean up the pipe do you mean finally washing out all unsoftened water?

1.5 days (in service Sunday morning)

Could be the problem. I have a recirculation pump that pull hot water down to the kitchen faucet intermittently so that it does not take as long for hot water to get there. Maybe there is significant residual unsoftened water in the tank? I guess I will give it a few days. The water should...

Having had soft water at a relatives house, the water was quite slick.....like not being able to get all of the soap off in the shower. Have installed my Aquapure with Clack ws-1 cs valve (amazingly no plumbing leaks) and the water is softer but not as slick as I expected. Could slightly...

Thank you Bob....makes sense now. For those out there that really want a Clack valve set up but cant buy on line due to the policy change.....I bought my unit at Ferguson Supplies.....made by Cuno/3m under the name Aquapure. When I called them a couple times asking questions I had folks on the...

Wonderful discourse....now, can either of you address the following questions: Why 11000 grains vs 7000 grains? Difference between P7 and P2, advantages/disadvantages of each. What is the factory set program? Isnt the Clack CS a metered valve (thus the normal + on 0 setting)?

1. The GPM figure came from Aquapures specifications. 2. I noted that the instructions indicated to remove the salt grid for doses less than 6lbs. 3. big dripper hit my question on the mark....it wasnt the health consequence but the yard effects. I plan to do general watering with...

WS-1 CS (which I understand is much easier to program) I assume the amount of sodium in the water is proportional to the amount of hardness removed....therefore, with relatively modest hardness the amount of sodium released would be quite low.

Have received new Aquapure CWS100ME which has the Clack valve. 1 cuft. 11gpm. 1. Need help with clack settings: Hardness 6.5-7. city water. Two people. Factor in for washing car/boat occ. and have 3 dogs that don't require a lot of water. 2. I was considering potassium salt since the...

Appreciate the consistent replies. Are you a plumber by trade?

Alright...I sincerely appreciate the assistance: 2 full bathrooms-regular shower heads 2 people, 3 dogs Wash boat and car at times may run d/w and/or washing machine while showering 3/4 copper coming into house City water, 6gpg Looking at Aquapure softeners (Clack ws-1 cs head) see...

Anybody else care to stop arguing amongst themselves and offer an opinion:p .....if your water were 6gpg would you get a softener. Money not being the primary consideration.
