I'm setting up the subject softener for make-up feedwater for a boiler in a brewery. Unfortunately the documentation is not great and neither is the support from the company we bought it from. Hoping for a little insight from this group.
Here's what I have and know:
Fleck 9100SXT w/ 2 8"x40" resin tanks (capacity of 0.75 cf resin each). I believe that gives me a capacity of 24K grains per tanks based on what I've been able to glean from the web.
Incoming hardness of 4.5 grains
BLFC 0.125 gpm (is this the brine flow rate, both out of and into the brine tank?)
DLFC 0.5 gpm (is this the drain flow rate?)
Injector 00
The unit supposedly came pre-programmed by the seller but there's some things that don't really make sense to me.
The BD (brine draw?) is 60 min and the BF (brine fill) is 12 min. With those numbers, won't it draw 7.5 gallons and only refill 1.5?
That's really my main question, but any advice on timing of the other steps would be appreciated. I did find a well-written step-by-step guide written by a third party online that helped a lot but I'd like to make sure I have it set up properly for my specific situation.
Thanks in advance.
