I just installed the fleck 7000SXT softener and need help with programming it (48k capacity, 1.5cu ft). Based on 3 person@60 gallon, 16-17GPG hardness, assuming 3000k/day, in 8 days that come up to 24k grain.
I did some research and came up with this :
DF: GAL
VT: dF2b
CT: Fd (Meter Flow Delayed)
C: 24k (capacity)
H: 17 (hardness)
RS: SF (Percentage Safety Factor)
SF: 20 percent
DO: 9 (Day override)
RT: 2:45AM
B1: 10 mins (back wash)
BD: 60 mins (brine draw)
B2: 5 (salt time setting)
RR: 10 mins (rapid rinse)
BF: 12
FM: t1.2 - 1.5'' Turbine Meter (7000 default)
Questions :
The first time the system started, I did not pot water on the tank or the brine tank. Just add gravel, resin and the salt on brine tank. The faucet inside turn yellowish (seems to be resin bleeding to the pipe), now it's cleared up. Will I have issues in the future?
Since it seems that i loose some resin in the beginning, how to tell if I have 1.5 cu feet resin from looking at the level of the resin on the tank (the height of the resin)? (Mind you, I did have gravel before the resin).
GPG varies between taps, sometimes it's 16 on this tap, and 17 on the others. Should I use 16 or 17?
Are the setting right? Please advise.
