I have a 1 ft3 Fleck 5800 Sxt softener. My hardness in water is 9 gpg on city water and there are 4 people in the home. So I have about 2,700 grains to recover per day.
I'm trying to figure out the proper control valve programming settings for capacity, BW, BD, RR & BF.
So... I have a 32,000 grain unit. At an 8lb salting I can recover 24,000 grains. Should the Capacity be set at 32 for the total capacity or 24 if I'm using an 8lb salting?
Is there a formula to calculate the best backwash length, brine draw length, and rapid rinse length? Currently I just have it set at 10/60/10.
For the brine fill to get an 8lbs salting with a blfc of .25gpm i get an 11min fill time.
Any input would be appreciated.
