i have a fleck 5600sxt (48000) softener. My brine tank is about 12x12 (14x14 at the top) and about 33 inches tall. I followed programming advice found on this forum. Set for 36k, with 8 min brine fill out of a .5 gpm. I cleaned my tank and ran it through a regen. About 4 min into fill the float stopped the water flow and I only had a 40lb bag in. How could I possibly be getting the correct amount of brine when there is usually a couple bags of salt to displace the water. I never messed with the float as that is how it came. Have silky water for a while and then got harder and stopped using salt. Brine tank was pretty hard packed which is what led me to clean it. Any help?
