Ya, iron was 0.25ppm. Hardness was 17.5 so I just called it 18 with the iron.

Thanks. I was actually planning on just doubling those numbers anyways. Since I have the capacity for it, it would just cut down on wasted water. Hardness = 18 GPG C=30,000 BF= 6 min Reserve = 10% That would give me 9 LBS of salt per regen...6 lbs per cubic foot.

Is this correct? Hardness = 18 GPG 2 people in house = 120 gallons per day 120 gallons * 7 days = 840 gallons per week 840 gallons * 18 grains = 15,120 grains per week 15,120 grains / 3333 grains per LB of salt = 4.54 LBS of salt needed per regen. 4.54 LBS salt needed / 3 LBS salt per gallon...

I set up an imgur album with the programming instructions from the word doc. http://imgur.com/a/piGci

http://imgur.com/a/piGci That is the WORD doc that I was sent when I purchased the unit. It has all of the programming instructions starting on page 9 The only thing I can think, is maybe the seller was selling units with a 0.25 GPM brine flow when he made the instructions...and didnt...

Thank you for the help! How do you know I only need 9 LBS of salt per regen?

I have no idea how much salt my unit is suppose to use per regen. I have a "48,000-grain" system (according to the seller), 1.5 cu. ft. of resin. My water hardness is 17.5 GPG, with no iron. Can I calculate it from those numbers? The brine flow is stamped on there and says 0.5 GPM. I'm...

I just purchased and installed a fleck 5600sxt water softener unit. 48000 grain, 1.5 cu. ft. resin. The instructions said to set the brine refill to 14 minutes. It also had me start with 5 gallons of water in the brine tank. I watched it run through the entire regeneration routine and...
