City water. I tested the hardness in the house and it is indeed at 0. I'll check when I believe it's not soft any longer. I'm usually pretty good at keeping salt in, but I'm pretty sure there was atleast a time where there was almost no salt (just the smalls at the bottom). I can't recall how I...

I've been dealing with some issues lately where the water just doesn't seem to be soft any more. Almost a 5 year old setup - 10" (54" tall) 1.5cube resin tank with Fleck 5600sxt and a 80-100lb salt tank (48k grain from AFWFilters/Amazon). I've recently ran some resin cleaner solution (Prores I...

Florida code at the time (2013) had an exemption for liners if the shower was built into the foundation. As such, I don't think they went with a drain with weep holes. I'm leaning towards gutting the floor and installing new tile. Thoughts?

The grout in floor of the shower chip out a couple months ago leaving a void to the concrete below (first floor, poured slab, no basement - Florida). The grouting throughout the house is pretty poor - a lot of hollow spots breaking showing a void to the bottom floor. Anyway, I knew I would have...
