Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
So glad to find this forum!
I am in need of a water softener system. My hach-b test is coming out to 9 gpg and with 4 people currently in the house my calculation is a 32k will work easily. House has 5 baths, 3 are used primarily at this time.
I also want to get the chlorine out of my water and believe a carbon filter would help solve that.
From my readings I see there are concerns of getting chinese low quality parts. Any vendor(s) that someone can recommend or have experience with? I am looking at the Fleck 5600SXT as it seems the easiest to obtain and probably will replace the valve with the steel one. The resin size I am thinking is 1.5 CU.
Is it better to put a KDF 55 or purchase a 2 stage filtration that will go before the softener? Any suggestions on the filter would be appreciated, I am looking at something like this.. https://www.amazon.com/Home-Master-Filter-Sediment-Carbon/dp/B005A3WPA0
As much as I would like to DIY it but will hire a plumber to take care of the installation.
Thank you all for your input!
