    New filter and softener needed - reccomend pls

    Ditto, thanks for your insight. I have been lurking around here long enough to know that you know your stuff. I also have learned that treating water is part art as well as science and you might just throw some random chance in there to be safe. Which is why i am here asking for input rather...

    New filter and softener needed - reccomend pls

    Thanks Dittohead So is it safe to assume that i am looking at one of 2 situations? Either i have a chlorine injection system to maintain or i need to disassemble and clean the valve every year or 2? honestly i would prefer the latter. an hour or so for cleaning an inspection is better time spent...

    Culligan Super S

    Hi, have a super S that i inherited from a prevous owner. Chances are that it was in bypass for a reason. Culligan will charge an arm an a leg to fix it. if they even are willing to do so. in my area they are shady. Save your self some hassel and replace it with a newer system and ditch the...

    iron out - whole house

    I searched but didn't see anything on this. anyone ever flushed the whole house with iron out? I am rebuilding my iron filter and while I wait for my media it is soaking with iron out solution. so rather than dump it down the drain I was thinking I might flush the house. The previous owner...

    Culligan super S re-bed - new head

    Ok, it makes sense that they would use different threads. I guess ill just rebuild the culligan. Aquasorb looks like it has a similar catalytic carbon for about 1/3 less. Ill probably go with that and a garnet under bed rather than sand that culligan uses. thanks for the help

    Culligan super S re-bed - new head

    it appears to be a standard single thread tank 10x54. 2.5 inch opening with about 4 threads per inch. A quick search of the forums and google as well as the culligan manual says that it is catalytic carbon. Centaur is the closest to their proprietary blend. good thread here...

    catalytic carbon or filox?

    i was going to upgrade my softener a few months down the road. when i do i was going to get one with the 7000 valve too. then i would have the same valve on both units. so if i want them to match should i avoid the 7000? if so what is recommended? i plan to feed it with 1" copper.

    catalytic carbon or filox?

    Hi, Longtime lurker first time poster. I am looking for some advice on what to use for my iron removal and slight sulfur smell. I had my water tested by a local lab: All these are in mg/L: Iron is 2.3 (which is different that all test strips. I used 5 different kits and all were .2-.3)...
