    How can I report a business?

    The business, Premier Water Systems also know as Oceanic Water Systems, is not honoring the the warranty for my water softener. I contacted Pentair and was told that I needed a new injector for my water softener and to contact my dealer to initiate this. I contacted Premier water systems on...

    Does having a longer BD hurt the system?

    Ah, I see, so the only way to avoid this is having the dual tank system? Is this upgrade worth having? Yes, that's correct.

    Fleck 5800sxt not regenerating

    Yes, that's correct, the injector that I was given with my system is the violet injector #00 which I think is the the 2nd or 3rd smallest injector size, and it is in the lower hole position and my system came with the upflow piston.

    Fleck 5800sxt not regenerating

    OH! I get it now. So, will the volume remaining that flashes on the screen show 0 gallons, or will it start showing whats left of the RC once the usable capacity is depleted? And what happens if my reserve capacity is used before my set regeneration time at 3 AM

    Fleck 5800 sxt programming and upflow questions

    Got it, so the link of the post you sent says the conversion for the compensates water hardness is: Compensated Water Hardness Multiply by 1 - 20 gpg 1.1 21 - 40 gpg 1.2 41 - 70 gpg 1.3 71 - 100 gpg 1.4 100+ gpg 1.5 I will set my H to 23 and will change DO to 28. So here are my final...

    Fleck 5800 sxt programming and upflow questions

    My hardness was 20 GPG when I tested it using the Hach kit, so should I increase it to 23? I set DO at 14 because the pentair rep recommended 14, what do you suggest? And yes, your theory is true for Fleck 5600 valves, but for 5800 valves, upflow and downflow are both black according to the...

    Fleck 5800 sxt programming and upflow questions

    Ok, so these are the final numbers: C = 48.1 BD = 145 min BF = 43 min With these numbers, should I still keep my DO = 14 days?

    Fleck 5800 sxt programming and upflow questions

    Thanks for all the info and help! Sorry for all the stupid questions, so to finalize I can use these numbers: C = 48.1 BD = 38 min BF = 43 min Since my BFLC is 0.125, does that mean I have to increase my BD to 110 min as you suggested in the previous post?

    Fleck 5800 sxt programming and upflow questions

    So I set my BD to 110 and my BF to 38, did you say to change the BF to 38 or keep it at 32? Also, my capacity (C) is set at 36 does that need to be changed? This is all using the violet #00 injector with the RF setting UFbd (upflow)

    Fleck 5800 sxt programming and upflow questions

    Just an update, I got off the phone with the pentair rep again. He looked up the serial number for my system and said that the piston is an upflow piston. He also said that for my 12” x 52” tank, I need the red #0 injector and NOT the purple #00 injector. He also said that after several years...

    Hi Reach4 and dittohead, thank you for your replies. I’m a total newbie at this and I agree, the seller has been terrible throughout this whole install. I’ve taken apart the unit according to the video and have attached my pictures. The injector is indeed violet. Does this pose a problem...
