Hello All,
We built our house recently and had a softener/whole home carbon filter installed. We initially tried using Potassium at the recommendation of the salesperson, but after consulting the forum we have switched to salt. I know all of my softener settings are wrong and I would prefer to start from scratch Please see specs for system, house and water quality below:
Water quality:
16 grains hardness
330 sodium
0 iron
7.9 ph
580 ppm TDS
House specs:
Current four people with the fifth on the way (softener was sized to accommodate). Currently we use around 60 gal/day per person.
Setup:
Fleck 7000SXT
48000 Grain Mid Plate Vortex Water Conditioner with13x65 Mid Plate Vortech Tank
1.5 Cu Ft High Capacity 10% Cross Linked Resin
1.5 Cu Ft High Activity Carbon
18x33 Polyethylene Brine Tank with Safety Cut-Off, Bypass, 1" Tail Pieces.
Trojan Max E4, 1" UV light
BFLC sticker shows: .5 GPM
I would also take any recommendations for salt brand/pellet size
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
