Hi there,
Just installed a brand new softener with a Fleck 5810 head. Quite pleased with it other than the meter on the softener seems to be very inaccurate. In the realm of 30% off...
I've physically removed the meter and had a look at it, it measures 1-3/8" with a tape... The setting of t1.2 (which is what the manual says it should be) for 1-1/4" turbine meter reads over by about 30%. (The softener thinks I've used 30% more water than I actually have according to my house water meter)
I've tried changing the setting to t1.0 which made the softener read WAY under.
Tried changing to t1.5 which actually causes an under read again. Which makes me think there must be a simple volume/meter pulses set in the programming for the meter sizes, because the larger meter setting reading under kind of defies logic otherwise...
Is there some way to calibrate the meter? Is something faulty? What do you guys think?
Thanks!
