Hello,
I have an Independent Water Tech (IWT) 565 (http://www.watersoftenerdr.com/images/565_IWT_Manual_-_Valve_Ver_9.pdf) . Below is the info.
4 adults and 2 big dogs household
Municipal Water
Location = Phoenix, AZ
1 resin tank = 12" x 52"
Brine tank = 14"x 14”x 32"
¾” plumbing
I use the Level Two programming and modify it using the following data -
Regen Mode – Metered Delayed
Regen Time – 2am
Capacity Calc – Automatic
Resin Vol – 2 cubic feet
Salt Dosage Setting – 7.5 pounds per cubic foot
Refill Flow Rate - .7 gallons a minute
Capacity – 52,000 grains
Reserve Capacity – 75 gal/per person
Backwash – 10 minutes
Brine/Rinse – 60 minutes
Rinse – 10 minutes
Refill – 7.1 minutes
I get a 2225 gallon capacity.
The reason I am asking is when I try use the above settings, the water is hard toward the end – i.e. the last 800 gallons or so…
Also, how much water should be in the brine take after a regeneration? When I have a brine tank half full with salt pellets, when it is done refilling it, it does not fill up to the top of the pellets.
I appreciate any helps and advice. Thanks!
