Category | Value Used | Comment |
Brining Direction | Down | Assumption: Downflow is more robust and upflow brining requires more precise setting |
Refill | PrE | Assumption: Is 4 hours enough to dissolve potassium? |
1 Backwash | 8m | |
2 Brine | 1h 10m | |
3 Backwash | 6m | |
4 Rinse | 7m | |
5 - pounds | 8 lbs | Based on 14 days x 2400 grains a day to replenish (33600 x 10-15% for potassium) |
Capacity | 36.0 x 1000 | Is it ok to set this to lower than the actual number of resins in the tank, as my usage is low? |
