    Hahaha- on the snake water (!) & thnx dittto for recommending mialynette. Spoke to him & he also told me that the snake salt could add bacteria. He's a nice guy. Sorry about the confusion earlier: I thought that comment about being able to read water might be funny. & now the injector...

    Oh dear mikey- while you were responding I typed out all those results from my h20 test. Haha- & typed on cell fone... pita to say the least. So happy that you also saw that hang up on the tests... you got me out of a kafka moment. Yea, reading water? I could understand if he was smelling...

    Yes, a good resource mikey- for many things. Its that I already have lab results - which my RO guy arranged. Hardness: 550 mg/L. / 17.1 = 32.16 Isn't that the calc? these results were valid enough for me. But- we seem to be hung up on this point & I don't understand why? Am I...

    Hay mikey. I considered that but... would that result be any more valid or reliable than the results that I already got from the folks at : national testing labs? Can anyone here verify or tell me if they do or do not trust the results from this outfit? Otherwise I feel like I'm playing...

    Ok, did the hach test w/ well water. As I understand it , but I could be wrong on this, the test range for the hach is from 0-30 gpg & my lab results state my hardness is 550/ 17.1 = 32.16 (which i'd decided to round up to 32.5) So I'm thinking the hach won't be too reliable for my well water...

    Thnx again. Just to be clear, I don't have a metered head on hand to install. Additionally I was already rather put off by clack's anti-dyi-internet sales bit & now lean even further away from clack. So if I need to buy another head I'll be thinking fleck. & I spent time trying to learn...

    Thnx for responding. System programmed to regen tomorrow. Just tested w/ hach b & still good. So settings w/ 14 day regen seem ok, altho I'm not sure if 2nd backwash is needed-while I still have the tc model. I paid $1800 for well + areator pump + softener head, which includes service &...

    Thnx for your response ditttohead. I'm replying from cell fone & will use recipe language, etc. Still have clack ws 3 button valve (tc model). Looking for local water peeps. Should I ask other fellow to replace head ? I drink ro water- sodium is quite high in well h20, which is flowing...
