Hi,
I've read many posts, softener was installed 3 years ago by a plumber, it looks to be installed correctly.
1 1/2 cu ft of resin, 8% cross link resin
Fleck 7000 Sxt 48k
City says 18 Gpg, 320 ppm, my Hach 5b test i just did has me at 25 Gpg, why the 7 differential? is that from pipes to the house, etc? I'VE been operating with 18 Gpg
No iron, city water
3 people, have capacity set at 28K, after testing for hardness going to set capacity to 36K
I'm not as concerned about efficiency at the moment, I will be, but I'm simply attempting to achieve soft water
SF 15
DO 8
RT 2:00 am
B1 10
BD 50
B2 5
RR 8
BF 30
I have plenty of salt in the tank for now, and the brine fill and draw when I watch it is drawing and filling
It fills up to the same level where I manually added 5 gallons initially when I cleaned the brine tank and added salt/ water
I ran two regenerations last night w the above settings to regenerate the resin, but testing the water this morning and still hard....
The valve cycles thru properly when I watch it, I sat thru a whole regen and saw the tank empty during draw/ come back during BF
I don't think tweaking the brine draw and fill times will help but I'm desperate for any input
Im aware re capacity and usage
I'd like feedback on settings, this Hach test threw me, I didn't expect a 7 Gpg difference from the city statement
Is too much brine an issue during brine draw?
I don't think it's ever been working to soften water highly, so assumed the resin needed help, but running two cycles overnight didn't seem to work( yes I spaced them 4 hrs apart)
Any and all help is appreciated, many thanks
Greg
Could the resin be unable to regen?
