    Can someone help me determine my needs?

    Sorry to dig up an old thread but, I still haven't installed a system and I really need to. In looking at the city's water report, they don't list any of the factors mentioned in their test results. Should I get a separate test done? IS the 7000SXT still the system of choice for my needs? -gl

    Thanks for the recommendations. As to pipe size, this is a new home that was plumbed for a softener. Are we talking about the size of those connections or the water main? Still working on getting the city report for mineral contents. -gl

    Sorry but, I am not sure what the resin tank is. Is it the one where the salt resides or the main tank? -gl

    Ok, I tested the hardness with one of the cheap Home Depot kits. The hardness came up around 250 parts/million. Again, I have 7 people - 3 of them are teens. My current system is a Fleck 5600se. Do you think it is a good match? -gl

    Teenagers, yes. 3 of them. There are 3 full baths. The water without the softener is leaving a think coating on our dishes but, I still need to actually measure the hardness. I believe it is bad however. -gl

    Thanks for the reply. I thought the same thing. It felt liek we were being sold a bridge :) With this system, do you think he was off-base in telling me it couldn't handle the usage? -gl

    I have a Fleck 5600se system in my household of 7 people. We just installed the system over 6 months ago but recently it started continually running water into the drain.
