We are on a well and our water hardness has migrated to a much higher level, 40 grains, forcing me to install a much larger softener to meet softening demands. Our new softener is a 14x65 with 3 cu ft of fine mesh resin, supplying a 96k capacity. I need help programming this beast to be...

Thank you so much! Should I run the blue injector w/ .5 BFLC and 3.5 DLFC or yellow injector w/ .5BFLC and 4.0 DFLC? Thanks again, Brandon

Hello, I recently had to replace my old faithful 7000SXT with a 5810SXT. My tank is a 13x65 mid plate Vortex tank w/ 1.5cu 10% cross link resin in the bottom (48,000 grain capacity) and 1.5 GAC in the top, all controlled by a 5810SXT. That said, I could use your help programming this setup...

My softener has performed two successful regens since making the programming adjustments. Last night, there was a regen and my water in the house is now back to having the taste as there is no salt in the tank. The brine tank is full of salt and it was cleaned last month. Where should I look to...

Awesome. Thanks again for all of your help. I appreciate everything.

Also, do you recommend trying 6 lbs salt instead of 8 initially with these new settings? Never mind, I just read your previous post and answered this question.

So I just need to adjust those two factors in my programming and I’m off to the races??

Sorry for the confusion, I fat fingered my hardness. In at 30 GPG, not 40. Either way, I’m gonna be using a lot of salt

Thanks for the info. I’m confused why a capacity of 36 would be selected when the system is 48?

Well it appears I have found one of the issues, my hardness is 40 GPG. My setup is as follows: Fleck 7000SXT BLFC - .5 GPM DLFC - 3.5 GPM Injector - 2 (light blue) 13x65 mid plate Vortex tank 48,000 grain mid plate tank 1.5 cu ft high cap 10% cross linked resin 1.5 cu ft active carbon 18x33...

So it appears the red #0 is recommended for 12”-13” diameter tanks. The blue is recommended for 18” diameter tanks. Is there any reason to make a switch? Also, do I need to change for DLFC? I should have my Hatch kit by Wednesday. I’ll give an update to hardness once I receive it. Thanks...

Hello Again, Thanks again for all of your help. I read the link you provided and I went out to my softener and verified the BLFC, it is .5. I have attached a pic of the BLFC, injector, spec sticker that is on the valve along with the spec sheet from my initial order, outlining the setup...

Good Evening Guys, Thanks for all of your help. You are correct, I did misunderstand the numbers. I was thinking those were the numbers I needed to program into my system. Currently, this is how my system is programmed: Fleck 7000SXT Settings: DF = Gal ; Units VT = dF2b ; Downflw/Upflw, Double...

Thanks for the reply. I started with the 6/30 and migrated to the 8/36. The 6/30 didn’t feel right. It seemed as if we were getting too much hard water coming through, so I opted to go the 8/36. How can I check to see if the BLFC is correct? Thanks again, Brandon

I programmed my system using the info above and at 500 gal remaining, my hard water has returned. I’m afraid my hardness is greater than the initial test. Would someone please recommend a test kit? Thanks, Brandon

Hello All, We built our house recently and had a softener/whole home carbon filter installed. We initially tried using Potassium at the recommendation of the salesperson, but after consulting the forum we have switched to salt. I know all of my softener settings are wrong and I would prefer to...

With our aerobic system the pump holding tank is just after the clarification chamber. The clarification chamber is the third tank where the clean treated septic water is sent to for chlorination before being sent to the pump tank (last tank in our setup) and then onto the yard. The softener is...

Thank you so much for all of the help. I will get this programmed and see how everything feels. Is there a test I can perform to check for efficiency? Since the drain line is plumbed directly to the pump holding tank for the septic is there any concern about discharging the solution on the...

The info My current Fleck 7000SXT settings are: DF = GAL VT = dF2b CT = Fd C = 35 H = 15 RS = SF SF = 15 DO = 10 RT = 2:00 B1 = 15 BD = 55 B2 = 12 RR = 12 BF = 15 FM = t1.2

Thanks for your reply. We opted for the 7000SXT and not the 5600. Our well is 830' deep with the pump sitting at 550'. We wanted a softener and a whole home filter to improve taste and water quality. We opted not to go with chlorine or peroxide and use a UV light instead for disinfecting...
