Hi Everyone,
hope you are all staying safe (re covid19).
I would be very interested to hear the views of experts regarding a setup of
5800XTR 2 Valve and controller with Chlorinator
this is mated to a 10inch x 35 inch tank.
The media installed is a simple gravel bed with .88 cu ft (25 litres) allowing around 1/3 tank left empty for freeboard.
the unit is to configured as upflow with variable bringing and variable reserve .
my question relates to the best sizes of DLFC, BLFC and injector so that the flow rates for regen I.e brine draw and slow rinse , fast rinse and backwash are optimised
the unit currently had 4gpm DLFC 0.5gpm BLFC and blue injector.
I am concerned that these are all over size for such a small tank and the amount of media installed.
and that the flow rates ( remember this is an upflow system ) will lead to poor regen and possible excessive disturbance /mixing and maybe loss /clogging of the Resin And gravel bed.
I was thinking of replacing the above with 2.4gpm DLFC 0.25gpm BLFC and red size 0 injector ... but would really appreciate any experts view .
thanks in advance and god bless you all.
