I have a Hellenbrand Iron Curtain on our well. I was getting very low flow in the house so I decided to clean the unit, it has 2 tanks 1) the Aeration Tank which has a little compressor atop and 2) Filter tank. The inlet diffuser on the Aeration Tank was clogged quite badly but I got all the crud off it. Prior to this, when someone would use water in the house you could hear a trickle in this tank but now it sounds more like a spray. I did rinse the media in the Filter Tank and also the valving for the Aeration Tank which was also quite full of rusty crud. So here is my issue... I get inconsistent flow now. Sometimes it is very strong but other times it is not. The morning after a regen (set for every 3 days) I will get air initially in the morning. Do I need to replace my Filter Tank media? If so, what do I use? I have good water pressure at the pressure tank but maybe the low end is too low as it seems like the good flow may be when the pressure level is at its highest (65 psi). The water pressure was the first thing that I tried adjusting before cleaning the tanks. It is mainly the morning after a regen that I get the air that is most concerning. I do notice when I take a shower, the flow can vary quite a bit from start to finish.
