I got my softener recently installed and it just completed it's first automatic regen the other night. I pulled the usage data off and the current settings and wanted to see if everything makes sense.
Clack WS1EE 1.5 cu ft (E injector, 027 drain)
Avg gal/day (from the WS1): 104 gal/day (highest single day 276 of 13 days)
Function: Softening
Direction: Down brine
Refill: Post fill
1st Backwash: 8min
Slow Rinse: 60min
2nd Backwash 3min
Fast Rinse 8min
Salt Setting: 7.5lb/cuft
Capacity: 30k grain
Volume Capacity: auto
Regen Time: normal
Relay: off
The softener is following a calcite filter, with filtered water at pH 7.0 (from around 5.75), reading 10 grains per gallon before the softener.
Today is day 3 after regen and the hardness is still reading 0 grains using Hach 5b.
The wife gave the signoff on taste, today, but strangely, not before this regen. She said it tasted "chemical-y". With only the calcite filter, she hated the taste comparing it to Evian bottled water. She loved the taste of the raw water. So, hopefully everything is good.
Any changes I should make?
