Hi Jeff, I also live in Vegas. I also shopped around for water softeners and it was stressful to say the least. The seller that you mentioned was really aggressive and would call me at 10PM at night (this was in April 2020). Anyways, my research on macro-porous resin is that it is unnecessary...

Please PM me recommendations. I'm assuming the popular ones online aren't so great?

Thank you. There is another seller that does downflow timer on the filtration tank (but KDF is below the carbon) and then to a metered tank with softener. Now I am wondering if I should just forgo the KDF all together. I do want the carbon as I dislike chlorine. Vegas is .9PPM and peakas at 1.7...

Also KDF-55 top of carbon or below carbon if we are running downflow?

The builders out in Utah seem pretty confident with their build and it looks like they've been doing this build with KDF-55 with upflow for the Las Vegas distributor/reseller for the decades. I see their tanks being sold by various websites. (Not sure who makes their tanks, but their valve is a...

If I back wash at the recommendations, would it be too much for the carbon if it's in the same tank? I've read that the answer to this is a resounding yes.

Why definitely 10x54? Thank you! All the sellers here use Clack Valves. One uses a modified clack valve (with upgraded electronics) As for tanks I can ask. I know one company definitely uses enpress since they offer both enpress tank and enpress with mid-vortech distributor plates. In your...

So 13-15 days is no problem? Also would service flow rate be the same? Vegas water doesn't have chloramine. It has chlorine. Average .9 PPM peaks at 1.7 or 1.2 I want to use carbon in another tank (I heard that mixing media is bad). So I was looking at stacked, Vortech by Enpress, and just...

Thanks. I have the space. Is the 48,000 grain better because its better our usage goes up? Is there such thing as regenerating to seldomly (Past 14 days)? Is there an advantage going smaller? (The seller says you don't want to go to far between regenerations) How's the water usage between the...

Hi everyone, What would be an appropriate size water softener? 9x48 32,000 grain or 10x54 48,000 grain? 2 people in household (we average 140 gallons a day- we may use even less since we water our plants and that water wont go through the softener, so our house usage may be less.) 16 gpg...

With 2.5 inch diameter in the media guard makes sense since it would take less flow rate then if it was in a 9 inch or 10 inch diameter tank. I read about that being the proper way. But no, it doesn't look that way. Like I said I'm not the builder... but the builder in Utah says they go...

There are a few sellers in Vegas advertising KDF-55. They are placing it with carbon in a separate tank and the resin in the other. One of the builders for the one of the sellers is out in Utah, and they've been doing it for while. I talked to them, and they combat the KDF-55 clumping up problem...
