Hi, I would like to switch from sodium to potassium for my water softener. I am currently using these settings below. Do I need to change anything in my programming? Fleck 5800SXT Settings: Violet injector #00 using upflow piston BFLC is 0.125 cubic ft resin = 2 (12 x 52 tank) DF = Gal VT =...

Here are the emails in text form:

The business, Premier Water Systems also know as Oceanic Water Systems, is not honoring the the warranty for my water softener. I contacted Pentair and was told that I needed a new injector for my water softener and to contact my dealer to initiate this. I contacted Premier water systems on...

Does having a longer BD hurt the system?

Ah, I see, so the only way to avoid this is having the dual tank system? Is this upgrade worth having? Yes, that's correct.

Yes, that's correct, the injector that I was given with my system is the violet injector #00 which I think is the the 2nd or 3rd smallest injector size, and it is in the lower hole position and my system came with the upflow piston.

OH! I get it now. So, will the volume remaining that flashes on the screen show 0 gallons, or will it start showing whats left of the RC once the usable capacity is depleted? And what happens if my reserve capacity is used before my set regeneration time at 3 AM

Hi, I recently set up my water softener with these settings: Fleck 5800SXT Settings: DF = Gal VT = 5800 RF = UFbd CT = Fd C = 48.1 H = 23 RS = rc RC = 300 DO = 28 RT = 3:00 BD = 145 BW = 10 RR = 5 BF = 43 FM = t0.7 RE = OFF VR = OFF Currently, the flashing display shows that there are only 50...

OH! I understand now. The settings are all starting to make sense. Thank you for that info!

Got it, so the link of the post you sent says the conversion for the compensates water hardness is: Compensated Water Hardness Multiply by 1 - 20 gpg 1.1 21 - 40 gpg 1.2 41 - 70 gpg 1.3 71 - 100 gpg 1.4 100+ gpg 1.5 I will set my H to 23 and will change DO to 28. So here are my final...

My hardness was 20 GPG when I tested it using the Hach kit, so should I increase it to 23? I set DO at 14 because the pentair rep recommended 14, what do you suggest? And yes, your theory is true for Fleck 5600 valves, but for 5800 valves, upflow and downflow are both black according to the...

ok got it, thanks! I’m running a regen cycle right now with these settings. Hopefully all goes well. Fleck 5800SXT Settings: DF = Gal VT = 5800 RF = UFbd CT = Fd C = 48.1 H = 20 RS = rc RC = 300 DO = 14 RT = 3:00 BD = 145 BW = 10 RR = 5 BF = 43 FM = t0.7 RE = OFF VR = OFF

Ok, so these are the final numbers: C = 48.1 BD = 145 min BF = 43 min With these numbers, should I still keep my DO = 14 days?

Thanks for all the info and help! Sorry for all the stupid questions, so to finalize I can use these numbers: C = 48.1 BD = 38 min BF = 43 min Since my BFLC is 0.125, does that mean I have to increase my BD to 110 min as you suggested in the previous post?

So I set my BD to 110 and my BF to 38, did you say to change the BF to 38 or keep it at 32? Also, my capacity (C) is set at 36 does that need to be changed? This is all using the violet #00 injector with the RF setting UFbd (upflow)
