I recently purchased a Fleck 5600 Econominder and 48,000 grain resin tank to replace my old water softener. The installation was simple, however, I have noticed that, after the regeneration cycle is completed, I will have almost foamy salt water (salty as the brine) coming from my tap that I have to flush from the system for about 5 minutes. Once this is done, the water is good with no residual salt taste.
I am wondering if this is a problem with the valve because I have also had difficulty in rotating the dial to set the number of gallons before each regeneration cycle. When I pull up on the front ring, it barely moves, and the back ring is almost impossible to rotate. It moves some, but is very difficult.
Does this sound like a faulty valve, or did I do something wrong?
Any advice would be appreciated.
