    Is it just me? Sometimes no result posts.

    It is really nice when people post the results from the advice they got from here (from anywhere actually). FYI; the two softeners I have purchased the last 2 years (2cuft SST60 fleck 5600SXT and 2.5 cuft clack WS1.25ee) have/did/are working awesome.

    At what iron ppm level do you change the design?

    As per topic, since .01ppm of iron does not concern the experts on here, at what iron level do you increase the salt dosage and lower the inbetween regeneration times? Next, at what iron level do you figure it is cheaper to just use the softener vs a separate iron filter. If the iron filter...

    Obama made me do it!

    OK, thread title is completely irrelevant. I just installed a clack ws125ee with 2.5cuft of resin in a 13"x54" vessel. This baby is nice. Will have first soft water shower tomorrow in 4 months, YAHOO! I set at 50k grains, 10gpg hardness, 6lb/cuft dosing. 5000 gallons between regens baby! Oh...

    Want to buy a clack ws1.25

    Which one of the WS1.25 model is best? I know the clack is not supposed to be sold online. IMO an unethical situation that I don't really care to debate about, and frankly I don't care that much. What I want, 2 cuft SST60 resin 12x52 resin tank (12x54???) Garnet underbedding Clack ws1.25...

    Over conservative salt efficiency and regeneration settings from old pros here!

    I admit, the title was meant to be annoying and to get your attention. Did it work? These following links just show performance data (salt efficiency settings, water used for regeneration and regeneration time) from different manufacturers...

    Water Softener RESERVE setting - a misnomer ?

    Should it be called a "TRIGGER POINT" As in, when the meter calculates you have this much capacity left (RESERVE number) to soften the water. A regeneration will be done (either immediately or delayed until that night) depending on the type of meter/controller. Or is it just me? Seems to...

    Ultra filtration systems

    http://goodwatercompany.com/Products/Ultra-Filtration_For_Whole-House___Drinking_Water/index.html Doesn't need to be those exact systems but systems that use the same process. Anyone have any experience with these? Good/Bad ? How long will the filter last? Typical waste water from the...

    RO unit TDS ---- and yes the question is tied to a SOFTENER

    The TDS of my water ranges between 950-990 at my kitchen sink. After the RO (5 stage with permeate pump) unit under the sink I get a range of 50-55 TDS. I figure I average a rejection of 94.5%. What is the cost cost effective way to reduce this even more. Should I run the permeate water...

    Fleck 5600SXT meter control valve questions.

    What water restrictions are in this valve besides the injector nozzle for the BRINE FILL and DRINE DRAW. Does the Rapid Rinse have a limiter ? Does the Backwash have a limiter ? Another thing, going by http://www.caitechnologies.com/images/PDFs/specs/SST60.pdf , the SST60 resin is...

    Gary Slusser and your webpage to determine efficiency settings idea.

    http://www.qualitywaterassociates.com/sizing.php That one above. And many thanks for this useful tool. Had an idea, wouldn't it get great if you had the option to select the resin type used? Or spots to type in the characteristics of the resin. As an example, the SST60 resin or a fine...
