Set up my new Fleck 5600SXT this morning. Currently 103 degrees, on way to 110 today. Soft water system is in the garage, which gets even hotter when automobile engines are cooling down after use.
Are there any tweaks to my settings that should be made to compensate for hot environments?
System specs:
Fleck 5600SXT
2.0 cubic ft system (64,000 grain listed capacity)
Brine fill rate 0.5 GPM
Hardness: 18 (measured using Hach 5B)
Water usage:
325 gallons/day in summer (I have a high-pressure back-yard mister system that is used a lot)
140 gallons/day in winter (2 people full time)
Fleck 5600SXT Settings (Summer):
DF = Gal ; Units
VT = dF1b ; Downflw/Upflw, Single Backwash
CT = Fd ; Meter Delayed regen trigger
NT = 1 ; Number of tanks
C = 40.0 ; capacity in 1000 grains
H = 18 ; Hardness-- compensate if needed
RS = rc ; rc says use gallons vs percent
RC = 325 ; Reserve capacity gallons
DO = 28 ; Day Override
RT = 2:00 ; Regen time (default 2 AM)
BW = 12; Backwash (minutes)
Bd = 60 ; Brine draw minutes
RR = 12; Rapid Rinse minutes
BF = 8 ; Brine fill minutes
FM = t0.7
Fleck 5600SXT Settings (Winter):
Everything is the same, except RC = 140
