So I have been observing this forum for a few months now and I must say what a great group of people/forum. So helpful in my decision making for a new softener to replace the old system that came with the house.
I pulled out the old system today. I thought it was two carbon tanks with a cartridge filter in between (there is no salt with this system). When I dumped it out I found on carbon system in a vortech tank and I have no idea what was in the second tank. The second tank dumped out white resin looking products, no more than a 1/2 cuft max and they were pure white. Any Idea what this was?
I am on city water and my hardness is 270ppm. What should it be after I install my new system? The new system is a 48,000 fleck 5800sxt with upflow carbon tank. Also, should I put a filter in between the carbon tank and the softener?
