    Chemical Injection Tee

    I've had it for three years and not a drop of a leak. The fixture is very stout and I'm not sure where a leak would even develop. How you tie it in toyour line is up to you. Since I have copper, I used the sharkbites for space saving and fairly easy on and off if needed. My system is for...

    Chemical Injection Tee

    I inject H2O2 from a Stenner Pump. My well line is 1" copper. For my injection point I used an inline static mixer. https://www.aquascience.net/johnson-screens-inline-static-mixer-3-25-gpm The product is a very heavy PVC and I used Sharkbite fittings on each end to connect to my copper. You...

    Problem Backwashing Fleck 5800 SXT

    Looks like I'll be rebuilding the head with new pistons and seals as two are essentially seized and the other almost as bad. I could probably clean them up and lubricate but some of the outer O rings are on their way out and some of the teflon is starting to peel. When I install the new piston...

    Problem Backwashing Fleck 5800 SXT

    Thanks Reach. I've taken one of the heads apart and looked at the areas you mentioned and for the most part they are clean. My DLFC is a shared part for all three units and that is clear also. I did not expect any problems in those areas as the Rapid Rinse has no issues using the same drainage...

    I have an Iron filter on my well that I use for irrigation. It is a triplex system with KL media and a Fleck 5800SXT head. The system also uses H2O2 for constant regeneration. I use the system for approximately 6 months of the year with a weekly backwash when the system is idle in the off...

    Iron filter for irrigation system

    Reach....you might be referring to my thread a couple years ago. System still works fairly well. Have modified a bit by adding H2O2 injection. Still get some bleed thru of iron (1.5ppm)but not near the amount of the raw water almost 8ppm. This is used for irrigation only and pumps close to 15...

    Irrigation Well Iron removal system recommendations ***UPDATE***

    *****UPDATE***** I wanted to report back here on my Iron removal filter. Last Fall based on the excellent feedback I got on this board, I decided on a Tri-Plex setup using 3 1652 tanks with 3CF of KL each and a Fleck 5800 SXT controller in filter mode. By the time the equipment arrived...

    Is it just me? Sometimes no result posts.

    as a recent internet "researcher" trying to solve my issue I know exactly what you are saying. Very frustrating reading through a couple of pages of posts thinking you might be reading about a solution and then it stops. I came across this over and over again. That's not to say I didn't pick...

    Irrigation Well Iron removal system recommendations ***UPDATE***

    Yes Gary everything is in the basement. Plumbing should be pretty straight forward. You're right about the drop off from the filter(s). I anticipate this will be the case. I should be able to do all that you mention.Each sprinkler head has a replaceable plastic nozzle that you change out to add...
