Greetings
Having a problem with water pressure for the last 6-8 months. In the shower after about 2-3 minutes the pressure drops about half pressure. Other faucets, hose bibs etc also lose pressure. I can use an outside garden hose and it will gradually lose pressure, turn it off for 30 seconds, pressure is back but will only last a short while. Bypass theSoftener, pressure remains solid.
System 5600SXT Down flow, been in service since Oct 23 2010. I do all the "maintenance" etc. Brine tank 9x48, original resin. I have done a couple of regens in a row with only short success keeping the water flowing at normal speed. I also tried RESCARE. Have removed all the salt from the brine tank when it was low, cleaned everything out and refreshed it with new salt about every 3 years. Water level in the brine tank averages about 6". I have a sediment filter ahead of the input to the system. This is city water and they report hardness as 3-15 as they draw from multiple wells. My current settings are below. I am thinking it is time to replace the resin????
