I am looking to replace my gold series Culligan with something else. I am leaning towards Fleck but open to other options. Culligan came out and recommended to replace my current with an HE1 10". The pricing was just outrageous.
I have been looking at the Fleck 5600SXT, 5810SXT and the 5810 XTR2. What would be recommended? Open to Clack as well.
The other thing I am having trouble figuring out is what resin tank to get. I assume I want a 10" based on what Culligan was recommending but having trouble finding that it seems everything goes off grains and I cant seem to figure out what would be appropriate. I contacted my water company and the hardness was 15. So I have that to go off and that we are using the water of a family of 6. From reading it seems if I get to big of a resin tank like 96,000 grains i could be wasting salt. So it seems to err on the side of caution when sizing but dont over size it.
One thing we are having issues with now that we want to make sure does not happen on the new unit is water pressure. From the supply its perfect but inside the house its terrible. Culligan and some others i talked to seem to think its a breakdown in the resin tank since its so old. But I just want to make sure whatever I buy is sized right and we have 0 pressure issues.
I assume Brine tank is the least important since its just holding the salt?
