I have a 1.5 cu ft resin tank and my valve is Clack WS-1. My water softener has stopped working, so we had to bypass so that we have cold water into the house. A plumber came by and he said we need to re-bed the resin. He told us that our resin is the gold one, which is bad. When I bought my tank from A-Plus water, I paid for the upgraded 10% cross link. Now he's telling me that the resin I have is the low end of the resin, he quoted us with a black resin 10% cross link for $1100.
My question is, what brand of resin is GOOD? I have invested quite a bit of money into this water softener, my first valve was a Fleck 5810 SXT and it never worked and I had to send it back to Pentair for warranty, and I have not heard back from them since about 8 months ago. So we went with a new Clack WS-1 last year, and now, 8 months later, this happened.
Can someone tell me what is considered a good resin, what brand or supplier? We are considering doing it ourselves. We have city water.
Thank you for any advice.
