    Issues with upflow uranium/water softener system

    @ditttohead Congrats on the acquisition! In terms of valve teardown, do you mean complete teardown -- i.e. removing valve from tank and soaking/cleaning the entire unit? Where can I get citric acid and how much/how often should it be added to the tank? Thanks for the suggestions! -Wes

    Issues with upflow uranium/water softener system

    @Bannerman Yup, the injector is violet, looks exactly like the part number you reference. Written on the outside of the drain line elbow is what looks like 2.7, also not too different from what your reference above. Inside the black disk is marked 027 (facing toward the softener). Would a ~20...

    Issues with upflow uranium/water softener system

    @Reach4 It is a combined uranium treatment / water softener. Tank is 10x54 with 1.25 cu. ft. for softening, and 0.5 cu. ft. for uranium. (I believe it is very similar to the third row in the attached table). I vaguely recall the BLFC injector being red, but I will check. -Wes

    Issues with upflow uranium/water softener system

I pulled the valve apart again today -- seal pack looks ok to me, no obvious o-ring failures. @Bannerman...

    Treatment suggestions for uranium needed

    Hi, Thank you for all the responses. @gsmith22 Your experience has made us think a bit more about how to we might mitigate our issues. Anion exchange sounds a bit more appealing as we are not too excited about bathing in uranium, etc. as you point out. The basic panel we chose does not include...

    Treatment suggestions for uranium needed

    Hi, We just had our water re-tested and our uranium levels have gone up since our last test. Previous test was 15.4 ug/L, current test is 77 ug/L. I have attached the report below. We are on well water, and current treatment system consists of big blue style sediment filter followed by a radon...

    Water softener recommendation?

    With it being 50% larger, besides the service flow rate, what would the other benefits be? Less frequent backwash and therefore less frequent need for additional salt?

    Water softener recommendation?

    Hi, I am considering adding a water softener to our well-water system. Details of our water quality report are below. Hardness is just under 10 gpg. Based on what I have read on these forums, I am considering the Fleck 7000sxt (we also have 1" piping after the well tank). Ultimately, there...
