About 3 months or so ago we took out our old culligan unit (over 25 years old) and I replaced it with a 48000 grain fleck sxt5600 softener. When I tested our water, it was 12 on the hardness but quite unsure about iron. While we do have iron, bypassing the softener the water is clear and tastes a little like iron but not terrible. I'm having issues everytime the softener regenerates we have orange water and it takes some time for it to clear up. Once it clears, its wonderful (crystal clear and tastes just fine). Since I'm not a water softener expert I will let you know my settings and see if anything looks off.

I regenerated an extra cycle with iron out....but nothing changed. At this point I'm unsure of what's going on.
