Hello,
I recently moved into a home that uses well water and had no water softener as it was removed by the previous owner. After having a water analyst done by ETR labs we decided to purchase the Fleck 5000 ProFloSXT water softener(48000 Grains.)
The problem:
The water is still hard! 4GPG Hard via Hach 5b Test Kit,
The majority of the iron seems to be removed, but I would like to considering the water condition if it should/could all be removed. When water is poured into a bottle and left sitting for a day there is no visible iron, and the water is clear.
The water softener was purchased from Ohiopurewater, and they have been helpful but have limited advise on the situation.
Fleck Settings
DF=Gal
VT=DF1B
CT=Fd
NT=1
C=30
H=53 (I have played with this number, problem is water hardness is instantly after REGEN)
RS=SF
SF=40
DO=5
RT=3:00
BW=10
BD=70
RR=10
BF=14 (I understand this is high)
FM=t0.7
Valve size is 3/4
BLFC is .5 Gal per minute
Thanks for the help in advanced,
Danny T
