Hey all. I need some help optimizing my water softener settings after a recent install. A bit of background - my wife has had terrible eczema flares since we moved into our new house a few years ago. I've been working to assemble and install a treatment system for the past few months. It's finally all purchased, plumbed and operational.
Here is my setup:
3/4" main on city water, 45-50psi
Plumbing is all 3/4" copper or 1" PEX
2 ppl (soon to be 2+baby) - we currently use 65 gal/day on average.
Twin 20" Pentek Big Blue filters
- 25 micron Sediment (spun poly)
- 5 micron Pentek EP-20BB Carbon Block
Softener:
Pressure tank is a 9x48 Structural
1 cu.ft. of 8% cross-linked cation resin
Fleck 5810SXT control valve
New Water Test Results i just got (raw water from my outside spigot):
(results were obtained using water treatment plant level equipment and methods)
pH: 7.36
Hardness: 61 mg/L
Alkalinity: 30 mg/L
Iron: 0.03 mg/L
Current Valve Settings:
DF: GAL
VT: 5800
RF: dF1b
CT: Fd
C: 22 (i think - not at the unit to verify right now)
H: 20 (this obviously needs to be edited now)
RS: SF
SF: 15
DO: 14

RR: 6
BF: 18
FM: t1.2
RE: off
