Hello,
I would appreciate if you could please provide some assistance is verifying and helping me fine tune the Fleck 5810 SXT water softener I have installed. Last time I checked my water softener, I noticed that not much brine was filled (very low) and the water wasn't getting softened enough and the salt level didn't go down that much in the last month or so. The initial issue was salt-bridging and I took care of that and did a force brine fill and a regen afterwards (a day after the brine fill). Now the water is well softened but again when I look at the brine level (for next regen in 14 days), it seems pretty low. So, I would appreciate some assistance from this forum.
The following are the parameters and current settings, so please let me know if you need further information.
