Water Test Results - Do I need additional filtration?

[janders5006]

My current Culligan softener went bad and have a Fleck 5810SXT 80,000 grain ordered to replace it.

The following are the results from my water test. I do have a reverse osmosis system for a single drinking water line. Is anything else recommended based on these results? ie. iron filter, sediment filter, etc?

3.5 bathrooms
5 people in house

Total Hardness: 580 mg/l 33.918 grains per gallon
Compensated Hardness: 34.178
Iron: 0.13 mg/l
ph: 7.16
Sodium: 246mg/l 14.39 gpg
Total Dissolved Solids: 826 mg/l 48.304 gpg

Chloride: 370 mg/l
Sulfate: 20 mg/l
Nitrate: <2 mg/l
Alkalinity: 430 mg/l

Presuming 0.25 BLFC (check that)
System info (not programmed)
salt lb/cuft : 6.9 ; A choice ( efficiency vs capacity)
BLFC : 0.25 ; Brine Refill rate GPM
cubic ft resin : 2.5 ; Same as (nominal grains/32,000)
Raw hardness : 34.568 ; including iron etc
Estimated gal/day ; 300 ; 60 gal per person prediction (auto-tunes)
Est days/regen ; 4.44 ; presuming days each use estimated

Fleck 5810SXT Settings:
DF = Gal ; Units
VT = 5810 ; Valve type
RF = dF2b ; Downflow, Double Backwash
CT = Fd ; Meter Delayed regen trigger
C = 54.6 ; capacity in 1000 grains
H = 41 ; Hardness grains after comp factor
RS = cr ; Cr = base reserve on recent experience
DO = 30 ; Day Override (typ 30 if no iron/Mn)
RT = 2:00 ; Regen time (default 2 AM)
B1 = 5 ; Backwash 1 (minutes) [3...10]
Bd = 60 ; Brine draw minutes
B2 = 4 ; Backwash 2 (minutes)[3...10]
RR = 6 ; Rapid Rinse minutes
BF = 23 ; Brine fill minutes
FM = t1.2 (usual) ; t1.2 is default flow meter
RE = OFF ; Relay
VR = OFF ; ?

==========================
Alternative C and BF pairs:
lb/cuft ; C= ; BF=
5.100 ; 45.9 ; 17
5.400 ; 47.2 ; 18
5.700 ; 48.6 ; 19
6.000 ; 50.0 ; 20 (A reasonable choice)
6.300 ; 51.5 ; 21 (A reasonable choice)
6.600 ; 53.0 ; 22 (A reasonable choice)
6.900 ; 54.6 ; 23 (****used in above numbers)
7.200 ; 56.1 ; 24 (A reasonable choice)
7.500 ; 57.6 ; 25 (A reasonable choice)
7.800 ; 59.1 ; 26 (A reasonable choice)
8.100 ; 60.5 ; 27 (A reasonable choice)
8.400 ; 61.8 ; 28
8.700 ; 63.0 ; 29
9.000 ; 64.2 ; 30
9.300 ; 65.3 ; 31
9.600 ; 66.3 ; 32
9.900 ; 67.2 ; 33

I would like some kind of sediment filter with a big cartridge, such as 4.5x20. I think before, but after the softener has its merits.

Thanks for the detailed response and settings for my softener! I'll start researching sediment filters.
