I think my resin may be bad inside my twin tank 9100SXT. I wanted to know what are the typical symptoms of bad resin?
Background info. Installed 9100SXT in 2012 to help with Iron problem (1-2 PPM) and hardness (24 GPG). I keep fighting issues of the softener not regening on it's own. I would get a error code 1 and I would have to manually unplug it (I've still been fighting this issue). So I've fouled the bed many times over during first install in 2012. I was still getting Iron staining throughout the house.
In 2016 I decided to install a KL filter before the WS along with a new pressure tank. During this time I had my settings on the WS checked by a member on the board. Everything is correct with the settings. Life was good until the WS wouldn't regen and the water would start to get hard.
The problem I face now is towards the end of a cycle, I notice the water is not as soft as a fresh manually regen tank. Even If it cycles to the other tank, the water performance isn't as great as a manually regen. I tried tuning the Hardness setting on the WS up to 50 and the performance is better but still isn't the best.
Is this just typical issues due to how hard my water is? Could the resin be shot? I haven't noticed any pressure drop in the water which would be a indication of bad resin. I'm open to suggestions.
