Not true, that's what the reserve capacity setting is for in the Fleck 5600SXT. Why would you regenerate sooner than needed if you have a reserve capacity set? Since there is a reserve capacity setting, you do NOT lower the grains on the Capacity setting. I'm not saying it will hurt by doing so...
I've sold thousands of these, installed, and programmed hundreds. (C) setting is grain capacity x 1000. He bought 1.5 cubic feet, 48,000 grain unit. You even said in your post "C = 30.0 ; capacity in 1000 grains." C=30.0 would mean he would have a 30,000 grain unit. I met with Justin at Pentair...
I reviewed the water test and am very familiar with Las Vegas water, having lived there for a year and Phoenix for 2 years, both cities getting their water from the Colorado river. Vegas chlorine levels are actually relatively low so a water softener should do the trick. The price difference...

Check your drain line to make sure it is not clogged would be the first step. The only time I've heard of salty water coming out of the tap is when the drain line gets clogged and the salt water has nowhere to go.
The Hach 5b test kit is a great kit and highly accurate. We test water hardness for free for our customers here using that same kit. If the city is grabbing water from 17 different wells there can be big differences in the governments testing. If the space you have for a water softener isn't an...
