Newbie question here. I tried to read other similar threads but seems like everyone's situation is a bit different so posting my own. Sorry if this is redundant.
Installed 5600sxt 4800 in Aug. First time having a water softener. And I know what software should feel like now. Throughout past several months, I've often noticed that soft water feeling going away. Not seeing significant build ups in sink, glass cups, etc. but I often do not get the same soft water feel. That's the only way I kind of figure out that something is not right. I check my salt level very often and I never run out. I've had times when I noticed that the salt level went down then I pour 40lbs bag. I also tried to check the number showing water level before next regen once in a while. Number ranged from 3200-3000 whenever I check which made me believe that I never exhausted it before 14 day forced regen kicked in. But it's just my newbie guess.
Some more data.
4 people family.
According to my water bill, we use about 150-200 gallons of water daily.
I tested my water hardness using the test kit I got from Lowes and it showed 250 which roughly translates to 15 (250/17.1).
Today I decided to do some more research and after going through a bunch of different resources online, below is what I came up with.
DF = GAL
VT = df2b
CT = FD
NT = 1
C = 30
H = 15
RS = SF
DO = 7
RT = 2:00
B1 = 10
BD = 60
B2 = 5
RR = 10
BF = 6
FM = p0.7
What do you think?
Thanks!
