got a kinetico installed a year ago. since then hasnt been steady soft water. they came out for the 4th or 5th time a few months ago and figured out the initial setting wasnt right. they actually tested my hard water and set it with a new disk. it has been using MUCH more salt than the past few months. which is a good thing. i thought it was too little anyway.
i waited a few months till now and in the past they told me test the hot water because it told the historical water softness. so today i tested 4 at home and went to the store and it tested 4 as well. then he said something in the hot water heater could cause it to be hard. but he agreed even then should be under 2.
i did go home and cold tested perfectly soft (hatch kit). so maybe he's right. something in the water heater causing the issue? i notice it in the shower that it's not soft water. annoying
or is there any chance the old hard water still didnt come out of the softener since november?
i have a triangle indirect to my boiler and it was installed 2008. i literally have done zero to it all those years. even when my old softener blew and there was resin everywhere the plumber told me i didnt have to flush the hot water tank because the nature of it is it's always flushing itself. no clue if this is true. but apparently my hot is not soft but my cold is. why?
i did call triangle and he said no chance it's the hot water heater but he seemed just anxious to get me off the phone.
