Hello Everyone,
With the help of this forum and the immense knowledge gained, I was able to buy a water softener and install it myself!
I am getting cloudy water 4/10 times I fill a glass of water. I assume this is still safe to drink as its just salt leaking into the water. I am trying to understand the cause of this.
Here are my current settings for this water softener. I am on city water without Iron and about 11 grains of hardness.
I have a Fleck 5800SXT 48k Grain softner programmed to 36k grains.
BLFC : 0.25
Injector #1 - white
cubic ft resin : 1.5
Raw hardness : 11-12 - no iron
Estimated gal/day ; 200 . (We average about 190-220 gallons a day)
Tank Size 10x54
Brine tank Size 11x11x32 (11x 11 at the bottom , 13 x 13 at the top)
Float adjusted so the water level is usually 11 inches from the bottom of the tank
DF = Gal
VT = 5800
RF = dF16
CT = Fd
C = 36
H = 12
RS = rc
RC = 210
DO = 22
RT = 3:00
BW = 8
Bd = 60
RR = 5
BF = 16
FM = P0.7
RE = OFF
VR = OFF
I want to confirm if these settings are correct or if there is something in here causing this salt leak into the system.
I can hear slight air noise during brine draw process. Could this be due to a bad connection, air is leaking into the system? There is no air in the water when using water after a regen.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Frieda.
