I have a softener I purchased used I want to set up in my rental. It came with a fleck 5600 econominder head. The head was configured for the media tank but before I install it I want to see if its right. The media tank is 15" in diameter by 50" high. I'd like to confirm that holds 3 cubic feet of resin like the seller told me but that tank size seems odd and I cant find it anywhere. I'd also like to know which brine line flow control and drain line flow control it should be fitted with. I haven't tore it apart to see what it has yet but I will be soon. Maybe I'll have a reply by then we'll see. I also believe it should be the yellow injector. I'd like to confirm that. Are those the only things that are changed to size up a media tank? I know the salt setting only goes to 18 which is definitely low for this tank I think that usually goes with a .25 blfc the .5 blfc usually goes to 32 I believe. From what i have gathered is if a .5 blfc was inserted but the salt scale wasn't changed it will work but you double salt setting. It was set at 9 which would be equal to 18 if that's correct might be right because 6lbs of salt/cubic ft *3 would be 18. 6 lbs/cubic foot is the salt friendly setting I hear. I've only seen the 2 different salt gauges but I believe there is a 1.00 blfc as well so I'm wondering if that should use the same salt indicator as the .5 or is there another scale I'm unaware of? I hope these questions make sense but I guess we'll see.
