Hi, I have a +20 year old softener that I believe has a Fleck valve on. Definitely a need to replace it!
Reading thru the posts there obviously so many choices and complexities especially to one unfamiliar with the lingo, specs, etc.
Here's the water quality report from where I live (Rochester, MN, hardness 17):
https://www.rpu.org/documents/2011_water_quality_report.pdf
3-4 person household, average water use/day. I'm looking to install myself.
I've looked online and with comments there and on this forum... I very much worry about not buying a 'good one'.. ie bad resin, plastic connector vs stainless, etc.
Can anyone please provide advice on size (eg 30,000, 48K, 60K, etc.), plus brand and/or a 'trusted' supplier I could order from over the internet (please PM me if posting this type of info here breaks forum rules).
THANK YOU in advance for any advice/help you can provide.
