Thanks I actually have the Danco silicon grease and it works great. I used it when I was tearing down and troubleshooting my faulty bypass. Sadly I think the o-ring has been missing this whole time. It would explain how I pulled the last distributor and found no issues and why the problems...

Sorry I grabbed the wrong info from Google. it is the Fleck 40924 which is 32mm, "1-1/4 PVC" 1.66 OD. Thanks for the help all, I tasted the drain after discharge and it was salty immediately. I pulled the valve this morning, and discovered that the o-ring was missing from the riser which was...

The riser tube was flush with the top of the tank when installed. I did not remove the resin before putting the riser tube back in, so this is what I was referring to.

So I did a full regen cycle, and the water is still testing at 18 gpg. I let the water run through for a solid 1-2 minutes before getting my sample. Current settings are: DF = GAL VT = df2b Ct = Fd C = 36 H = 20 RS = cr DO = 14 RT = 2:00 B1 = 10 BD = 60 B2 = 5 RR = 10 BF = 16 FM = t1.2 To...

I don't believe I have a Fleck 61419 if you are meaning the 32mm adapter. I have the Fleck 40677 32mm distributor tube so its 32mm all the way to the basket. Can confirm too because this is what I replaced.

Got it. When I added the gravel it seemed as if it had not lost much resin. The way I got the distributor tube and basket down into the bed was I pushed it into the bed, got on a ladder and blew into the tube until I got it all the way down. The tube stuck out about half the length of the tank...

So sadly I never solved the mystery of resin in my water lines. I had actual resin beads in faucets and especially it would clog the screen of my clothes washer which I had to clean regularly. I went so far as to pull the entire distributor tube, I inspected and even replaced the PVC piece and...

TL;DR - My softener is not softening after back to back regeneration at the max salt capacity. Verified salt dose, brine tank draw and line, valve not clogged. System is only about 2 years old, and it was bought new, installed by me in our at the time 3 year old home. Fleck 7000sxt BLFC : 0.250...

To troubleshoot the leak, can I re-plumb and flip the bypass upside down to switch the bypass outlets? My thinking is to see if I flip the bypass, while correctly re-plumbing it, I can see if it leaks on the same side or the other which should help me narrow it down to the valve body or the...

I finally got around to do this, and after putting in 15lbs of gravel and running one full regeneration cycle the turbine seems to not be seizing. I think I won that battle! When I pulled the distributor basket and tube, I physically found resin inside the basket and it easily passed through...

Oh also just in case as Reach4 mentioned, if there is too much weight from the flex lines I am going to add some supports to alleviate that.

After my last post, I had taken the turbine out once more and it now seems to be reading, only at random times. If I go turn on some faucets I don't get a water indicator blinking on the display. I came back the next day after work though and it had decreased the water count, so I know its...

So I pulled it last night, and after messing with the turbine it seems that the issue is if I push it all the way in the turbine is restricted. Example is, if I put the turbine in and push it in only about two inches, I can use a screw driver to flick it and get it to spin. If I push it all the...

Thanks for the posts! Sorry I am just getting back to this. I quadruple checked reversed inlet/outlet, so sure that is correct. What's funny is it did work when I got the unit for the first few weeks and if I pull the bypass off and take the turbine in and place back in sometimes it will work...

Hello All, I have been visiting the forums for a long while and within the last year I purchased a Fleck 7000sxt 48,000 Grain system from an online site. Everything went great with the install but I have been plagued with three issues, which I think may be all be related in some way. Thanks to...
