I'm using a 25/05 micron Dual gradient 20" sediment filtration. This was suggested by a few water treatment companies, due to the sediment in our water and the ferric iron. I'm hoping it will be less than 5psi drop at 10GPM. The water softener I ordered is the latest Clack WS1 w/ 1.5cf resin...

I'm installing a water softener with a big blue water filter. I will be connecting the system to copper piping. I'm wording specifics on fittings and layout. Although the Softener has a bypass, I'm going to make a ball-valve bypass configuration as shown in the diagram below. Should both the...

Thanks - I think you're right. I'm not going to get 30" because of the well tank, which I have no intention of moving, since the plumbing comes up through the slab. I will move the softener away from the panel though.

I currently have a Hague water softener installed below my electrical panel. The unit was sandwiched between a large well pressure tank and the electrical panel, but only sat about 3' high. I'm replacing it with a 10x54" Clack controlled system. To simplify the plumbing I'd like to install it...

Honestly, this was a rough measurement. I have a 40/60 pressure switch with a large(50-100 gallon) pressure tank. When I measured the fill rate I was getting about 10.33GPM. I could probably get away with a 1.0 or 1.25 cuft resin, but I figured I might occasionally get some hard leakage. I'd...

Thanks Reach4, The local distributor said they carry all the parts to service the Clacks, Flecks, and Autotrol. It just makes me nervous to rely on a single source. I had included the sediment filter you suggested w/ a 25/05 micron filter. The further I dig, the more questions I have. I was...

Thanks dittohead. Are all the WS1's the same? I've seen some documentation regarding the WS1-TC, EI, and CI, but I don't know the differences.

I'm sorry for another sizing post. I'm looking to install my own water softener. I think I've finally settled on a size and I'm now looking for a controller. I found a local distributor that will custom build a softener with Fleck, Clack, or Autotrol control valves. Here's my specs: The...
