Hello, My daughter recently moved to a newer home (2005 build), but there is no preinstalled water softener loop. Plenty of room for water conditioning equipment in garage (water softener + whole home carbon filter). House does have a crawlspace, so I assume the answer is some new plumbing...

Mostly read and post over on the Water Softener board.... Thought I would venture out a bit on this forum... I am looking to buy a new digital multimeter. Besides the obvious best-in-class, i.e. Fluke, any other feedback from others here? Looking online, see lots of APAC (China) devices...

Hello All, Noticed today, middle of day, my water softener went onto a regen cycle. When it finished I noticed the time was about 120 am and date one day earlier. Other settings, like hardness setting were fine. I did lose power yesterday as I unplugged the unit for 1 or 2 mins to...

Hello, Did some searching here, but could not find. See articles about resin media replacement intervals based on type of water (city or well), cross link % and if softener has a whole home carbon filter in front of softener, which I do. I have a 2 cu ft tank, 2 actually, for softening and...

Okay, new to me in a conversation with someone here in LV. I am having a new TH built, purchased and taking possession next week, as a rental. City water, ~15/16 grains of hardness I was over at the property and was approached by a water softener company about their products and services. As...

Hello, I have ~3 year old Fleck 5810XRT softener, with a 5810STX whole home carbon filter plumbed in front. I have noticed over the past ~30/45 days, I can hear water dripping into the drain (same airgap drain line that my washing machine uses in the laundry room). I have noticed this...

Hi All, Not sure if I posted this in right forum group. I have a hot water recirculation pump in my home. Hot water is pretty fast to all faucets. However, I recently had the anode rod replaced and tank flushed. After work was done, hot water, only to the kitchen faucet, takes 1 to 1.5...

Different type of question.... Reference to another post I saw on this board ".... xtr2 controller (firmware version 1.7.1812)". I have a xtr2 with older firmware 1.3.7085. Question for dealers/distributors (or if a Fleck rep visits....) Is there a firmware upgrade path for the xtr2...

Question to experienced and pro water folks here: Any opinion on programing where brine tank is: 1. Filled 1st to programmed level, sit for ~60 or more mins, then run through all regen cycles? OR 2. Filled at end of a regen cycle so 1st step of a regen starts with brine tank already...

Searched this forum and don't see any comments on the Halo 5 system. Is this nothing more than a multi-media based system with alternate scale removing media? I have read the info on thier website. Reading here, I assume backwash rates and time of backwash may be an issue with this design...

Great forum... Looking for a recommendation... A extended family member needs a new water softener, replacing a 5+ year old big box store Whirlpool system that was neglected and a few have asked ~ $400-500 to fix/repair.... As such, I am helping and instead of going with same type of...

Hello, First time posting, long time follower of this thread. I replaced all water conditioning equipment recently to include a softener and carbon filter (whole house) + a RO undersink system. Very pleased mostly with the results. However, I ran across this filter, Omnipure K series...
