might have a hard time getting help. very few people that know anything about those systems. very proprietary and kept close to the chest, so to speak.

ok. I suspect one of the dip switches is set to read 2 digits, so your regening at 510 gallons. (18 x 365) /3=2190,so you probably regening every 3 days, which makes sense. are you using salt?

well. how old is it?

is there a flow meter on the softener or does it regen based on days? if so the unit should say capg for a second and then a number (maybe 870) when cycling through with the status key. I may be able to help diagnose.

understood. honestly, they would likely not have anyone qualified to fix it and/or not want to order the parts up and just offer a new softener with the above additions. dittos suggestion is best. new equipment is in order. preferably not proprietary.

are you against having Culligan fix the iron clear unit? pics? I only saw one iron clear unit the my entire two years working for them. they are overly, unnecessarily complex. imo. they use an air pump combined with chlorine draw. they do it with a softener now combined with a chlorine generator...

good catch. especially with brush to clean up the bores.

in wouldn't let me edit that last post should have said 9000. yes, pull the seals and spacers. seal should be first and last in the stack, so don't miss the bottom seal. hope the meter is registering if not you can replace the dome which is around $50. the bores should be cleaned up (wiped...

you can get both pistons, seal packs and a brine piston in one kit. look online about $150. if your other unit is working you can manually regen that a couple times in a row (about an hour and a half apart), then once a day or so. may give you some relief if it's working. if it's that bad might...

^^^ an accurate comprehensive water test is crucial. the fleck 9000 is a great unit. the 9100 sxt is basically just a solid state version of the 9000, so no need. you're in need of seal/spacer and piston kit to solve the drain issue. your using way too much salt. order up the 9000 parts, get a...

Recovery seems very acceptable with that much tds. is that the actual water temp or best scenario? Couple of questions, do you plan on backwashing those membranes periodically? and, if you were able to up the feed pressure would that result in increase in efficiency or just increase both...

that's quite a system. are you injecting for descaling? also, love the d.bs ease of pressure adjustments and ramp up ability based on demand. how do you like them? found any drawbacks? I've seen people try to treat everything at once with an RO. Like you, my thought is to separately treat to...

comment related to someone suggesting it could be fuel related. I have a 15kw portable gasoline generac. one year it wouldn't run, so I did some research. I found out it has a mechanical fuel cut off mechanism to prevent backfire. removed The guts from that mechanism and it's been operating...

you may benefit from an RO. While things such as calcium and magnesium can contribute to TDS, it mainly consists of salts and heavy metals, neither of which is good for the human body. While some TDS is acceptable, higher amounts (especially of heavy metals) can bioaccumulate leading to long and...

your roughly 33 gpg hard, so significantly hard. a 48 k grain should work with 2 people in the home properly programmed. a softener will also raise the pH by .3, which puts you at 6.5. PEX won't be affected. however your TDS is very high. an RO will remove up to 90% of that but will require a...

I would just replace the dome. everything points to that. the fact that the unit is set to 450 gal regen, i suspect maybe your raw water isn't great and some contaminants possibly bound the gears up causing the unit to not read flow thereby not regen. I'd advise you get a comprehensive water...

it's crucial to know what your treating for. I agree with skyjumper that your resin may be fouled, and with his recommendation regarding steering clear of proprietary systems as it leaves you beholden to them for parts and repair.

that smell usually indicates manganese. did you test for manganese? I never recommend the iron eater stuff or salt pellets, just crystal salt.

or just wait and do bannerman suggestion. also check to see if time of day is moving.
