    Fleck 5600SXT: replacement of Econominder head and change in resin tank size

    Just wanted to add a final post to this thread. The softener has run through several regenerations at this point and I've measured water hardness at several points in time/remaining capacity, including times when it was in reserve capacity. Every time it has measured 1GPG. (1 drop of reagent...

    Fleck 5600SXT: replacement of Econominder head and change in resin tank size

    Thanks Reach 4. I've been monitoring the performance of the softener through it's first demand-based regeneration since installation of the SXT. Measured the hardness using Hatch 5B and post regeneration last night and it's at 1 drop of reagent. I'll check again when close to...

    Fleck 5600SXT: replacement of Econominder head and change in resin tank size

    Thanks, Reach 4. I'll confirm the injector but it is labeled as having a #1 injector. Since the control head is new, I'm going to be shocked if it or the screen show deposits. I should add that there was a significant amount of brine already in the tank at the time that I changed the meter...

    Fleck 5600SXT: replacement of Econominder head and change in resin tank size

    Fleck 5600SXT: replacement of Econominder head and change in resin tank size

    Thanks again, Reach4. I'm probably a week and a half out from swapping the control heads but I'll report back after with the 'bucket test' to validate the accurate decrement of the remaining capacity. Ed

    Fleck 5600SXT: replacement of Econominder head and change in resin tank size

    Thank you for the quick and detailed reply, Reach4. To answer your questions: A 9x48 tank will have 1 cuft of resin. A 12x52 will have 2 cuft of resin. I suspect your new tank is 52 inch high. The new resin tank is a Clack 1248. I chose the same height tank as the original so that I would...

    Fleck 5600SXT: replacement of Econominder head and change in resin tank size

    Hello, I appreciate the help of the many on this forum in terms of supporting people like me (somewhat clueless homeowner) and our water softener questions. I've gone through many of the posts and I think I have a good idea of what I need to do but would like a second (or third, or fourth...
