So hopefully everything gets rinsed away. It's city water. And resin in Fleck lasted ~7 years. We use Morton Clean and Protect pallets. https://www.mortonsalt.com/home-product/morton-clean-and-protect-pellets/ I am not able to find anything else from hardware stores around me.

Is using Iron Out recommended to manage iron level in water? I haven't done iron level test yet but I do see orange stain in places like shower. I use Fleck 5600. I recently replaced resin because we had serious water flow issue. This was after ~7 years of service. Water flow issue is gone...

Thanks Reach4! Few differences I noticed are RC/SF, DO and VT. Are there any significant differences between VT = df1b and VT = db2b? Why would one choose double backwash? Sounds like I should be safe with longer day override? Perhaps this ensures that regen mostly happens based on metered...

To be honest, I read from some where that if C = 30 then BF should be 6. No scientific basis. I found ".50 GPM 1.5 LB SALT/MIN" on the label by the brine connection. And I don't remember all the original settings that the plumber who installed it set but I think VT = df1b, C = 48, DO = 14...

Newbie question here. I tried to read other similar threads but seems like everyone's situation is a bit different so posting my own. Sorry if this is redundant. Installed 5600sxt 4800 in Aug. First time having a water softener. And I know what software should feel like now. Throughout...
