After much discussion here - I ordered a 2 cu ft unit due to the size of our house, as well as for future considerations (I don't want to have to buy a new resin tank to keep up with the SFR). I measured the water in our neighborhood and it came out to 12 grains (previously, I had measured the water in the house we were staying - which is only 5 miles away from our new house, but in a different city). There is 0 iron. This will be sized for 3 people. Based on calculations on Gary's web site he shows a total hardness capacity of 17,280. Based on his chart, it looks like I can use 5 lbs of salt per cu ft of resin - to reach 18,200. If I set the softener to 32k (which would be 1 cu ft), it should be 5 lbs of salt every 8 days. We wouldn't be using up the entire capacity of the 2 cu ft of resin, understandably, but will have enough for future capacity. I ordered from Ohiopurewater, good price - got the top basket and gravel bed. What settings should I set when the unit arrives? I copied the defaults from what I saw, and made changes to the "C," "H," and "DO" settings - but nothing else. Can anyone recommend what if any changes I should make from the defaults?
