Ok - so hopefully this is my last post where I have questions and I can finally share my total experience with others as a commenter and not a "questioner".
Just installed a Fleck 5810SXT Softener (48k hardness - family of 4 -- hardness of 11). At first it wasn't softening at all -- found out this is because the valve needed an adapter to fit the riser tube. Once I installed the adapter, I've had "soft water".
The problem -- my water has been testing at 2-3gpg since the install of the adapter. Obviously this is better than the alternative (10-11 gpg); however, I was really hoping for 0-1 gpg and given my hardness, I don't see why that's not happening. Not that I have 10% crosslink resin and have already regened it a couple times to make sure the resin is "clean" or appropriately charged.
Any ideas what could be causing the hardness to still occur. I understand that 0-3 gpg is still considered "soft" but is this a normal result. Note all tests have been done with a Hach 5b.
Thanks,
Hawkins
