It is only one length and I don't recall exactly how long it is but it's about 3 feet or so. That being said, length isn't important (never though I would ever hear myself say that out loud :( ) Electronic cathodic protection is not restricted or enhanced by anode length. Miles long pipelines...

I went with the A.O. Smith powered anode. It comes with a module that that has led's and an audible alarm to indicate if it is working or not.

I'll leave the technical answer to the experts on this forum. That being said, our water has a hardness of around 175 GPG or about 3000 PPM. That is a lot. For the most part the folks that have whole home RO systems have a contract with a very large name water treatment company and they lease...

This is encouraging news for me. We were in our house for about a year and a half and our softener was not set up properly for the extremely hard well water that we were dealing with. I only got it working correctly about a month and a half ago (with the help of forum members here) and still...

Most folks around me that have whole house RO systems do not have softeners. I would think that would be one of the best benefits of a whole house RO, not having to buy and deal with salt. Those of us that do have softeners for the house use a smaller RO system for the kitchen.

Also, if you do order one, make sure you measure the OD of the tube stem. It looks like you have the 1/2 inch OD stem. The one in the link that you provided above has a 3/8 inch OD stem. Difference shown below.

You might be try soaking the air check in a Clorox solution for 15 or 20 minutes. I was able to fix a neighbors by doing that. Also, I was able to suck a little air past mine. Not much but you could hear a little getting by. I ordered a new one and it was the same. Point being if you can...

How much citric acid would you recommend? You can by a 10 lb. bag for $22. I am looking at adding a bit to my brine tank every once in a while just to keep my resin tank tuned up. Any reason why one would not want to do this?

Yes my TDS is calculated at 4,918 ppm but 2,260 ppm (132 gpg) of hardness as CaCO3 and the Hach 5B using the dilution method tells me that it is 2975 ppm (174 gpg) I edited my post above to reflect this.

That is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you. Something else in that document that is interesting is described as "Continuous Hardness Leakage". It jives with exactly what I am seeing in my system. I am only able to get my hardness down to around 2.5-3 gpg. I am using 10 lbs of salt...

Thanks Reach. I came across that in the past and really have not been able to find anything else beyond that chart. I really am looking for more information on why a compensation factor is needed and a little more background on this. What is even more interesting is that no where else is this...

I have searched the internet for any information on water high hardness compensation factors. I can't find any information on this what so ever. I have seen it mentioned on this forum from time to time but have never been able to find any charts or proof that this is even a real issue. I am...

I looked at that one but I saw complaints about it spraying water everywhere and it doesn't look as though it could easily be glued in place.

Would 7 GPM be considered too high? Cause if that sucker works.......it's getting glued in.

I just ordered the Gap-Cap air gap to put on a 2 inch PVC stand pipe. I just re-plumbed my Fleck 2510 with 5/8" ID clear braided reinforced vinyl tubing in anticipation of its arrival next week. I previously just had 1/2" ID PEX tubing stuck down the stand pipe. It was working but I want to...

If your water heater is in the garage you can attach the hose to it for soft water. That is what I do when I want soft (and hot) water to wash stuff. This assumes that you have a water softener of course.

All I know is that if you see snow that looks like that......do not eat it.

That is okay. I would rather error on side of caution and use a little extra salt and not introduce hardness into the system. Regenerating every 350 gallons does not give me much room for error. There is quite a bit of salt in my water naturally, so I'll never be able to rinse it all out. I...

I heard back. They are sending me the green #4 injector and throat and a 1 gpm BLFC. I have asked them to include a #3 injector and throat also.

I just generically referred to it as that because it is paired with the 0.5 gpm brine valve. It is the White #1 injector. Based on my observation you are correct on the brine draw rate. I am not sure what they plan to ship yet. They said that they would send me an email and costs for what is...
