No bacteria at this time. I shock my well periodically. Not installing a chlorine injection system. hardness - 40 pH - 7.4 iron - 2.5 Mn - 0.1 no bacteria nothing more worth noting

It's a 5810SXT. I'll look for a 7 or 8gpm DLFC. By replumbing the supply to 1" all the way into the filter, that should get me more volume as well. I was able to remove about half of that stack easily just by a quarter turn. I didn't really try the remaining ones. What's the purpose of...

I haven't put the new media/gravel in the tank yet. Filter tank is 10x54. Tank is sitting empty and currently the valve is on the floor. Just bypassed and straight to softener. 6gpm DLFC on the valve. When I emptied out the old KL media, there were no clumps and came out as fines, so I...

While I'm still debating what to do with my system to treat the iron, can I clean this valve head and bypass to give me some time? I have new KL media and gravel. I'm also going to replumb from the pressure tank to the filter to be all 1" piping (right now, it necks down to 3/4" right...

I had iron bacteria at one time. It came from the well, I sanitized it with chlorine tablets. There's procedures to do it on this forum and I'm sure online.

Disregard

where did you buy your DLFC button? I'm going to increase mine from 6 up to 8 i think.

no, I said 'replacing' the gravel and KL, not reusing it. mine only has a 6gpm, maybe I should get a larger one. I like your idea of soaking it with some chlorine.

Thanks.... I was just going to fill the tank with a hose (raw well water) after replacing the gravel and KL and let it soak. After the 12 hours, I was going to reassemble the controller on top of tank and finish install. Run rapid rinse and then a full regen.

That link says 12 hour soak, while in bypass, manual regen to RR and slowly open bypass and let RR cycle run. After that, run a full regen.

It's going on 9 years now. Not sure if it's bad or not honestly. Just decided to refresh it, probably doing it this weekend, just got all the other parts in yesterday (gravel and lower distributor basket) so will replace the KL and gravel, probably replumb some fittings since I'm sure they're...

I'd be interested in seeing what valve exactly you switched to and how you converted it. I have a KL Iron Filter as well and get some iron still, even after softener. I did a deep clean on my softener (which helped some) and about to replace the KL resin in my filter.

Looking around for info; I think it should be 28 minutes for BF. Using 60k softener capacity 20# of salt per regen 1 gallon to dissolve 3# of salt ~7gallons 7 gallons @ 0.25gpm = 28min

after a few curve balls life threw at me, I finally got around to cleaning the softener. Found out it wasn't drawing the brine in fully, had suction but must not have been strong enough to draw brine. Cleaned the screen and finally started drawing the brine. Did notice when I plugged the...

so replacing it then cleaning it right away, it'll be opaque?????????????? the clear line will be replaceable in the spot I'll put it, I'm not replacing the whole drain line... hahahaha, just the portion going into the sump

ok, so i got new KL media, 15# gravel and new riser (just in case) ordered. Is it as simple as unscrewing the control head, dumping out the water and somehow catch the old resin (hopefully it's not hardened up) and disposing of it. I'll clean the tank with some chrlorine and water thoroughly...

how much gravel is required? Pea gravel from home depot/lowes will work right? I'm looking to order new KL media in the next day or so.

ok... Dilute cleaner in water and dump in brine tank or let it suck directly..... Empty brine tank bypass softener unplug softener let soak for a few hours open bypass let slow rinse for 2 hours plug unit back in finish regen manually do another regen So by opening the bypass valve, that...

Is replacing the KL media as simple as dumping out the old resin and putting new resin in? no gravel bed?

3/4" pvc no, nothing. Can I reconfigure the valve to have it inject chlorine? If I could, would all the chlorine be washed away during regen? I don't want to add another filter to get the chlorine out afterwards. So you're saying to replace the BLFC with an 8gpm (or 9) when i replace the...
