Thanks! Set to 36000 grains even though I have 1.5 CF of resin in the tank?

Ok thanks. I put 1.5CF of Purolite in the 10x54 tank and 15# of gravel based on what I had read and other responses this seems to be correct. Was that the correct amount to install? Both the 1.5CF of KL in one tank and 1.5CF of Purolite each with 15# gravel seemed full but it was what was...

I added a bypass coming off the discharge of the softener/filter to route the water back into my house or into the atmospheric tank and booster pump. That way if the tank leaks or the booster pump fails again, I can use the bladder tank pressure and still utilize the water softening system. If...

I have Two Clack WS1 Water Softener Heads each with 10x54 Tanks. One Tank has 15# gravel at bottom and 1.5CF of Katalox Light KL-10. One tank downstream has 15# gravel and 1.5CF Purolite C100E Resin. I'm not quite sure how the tanks were set up before and tried to start both up last night but...

Thanks. It is actually above ground inside a short little house in the front yard. They bricked it for aesthetics like the others in my neighborhood. I probably will screw a hose on it so it isn't spitting on top of my casing like it is now...

Ok thanks. So don't need to make any modifications to this. Thanks Again.

I was incorrect. I don't have a shrader valve at the well, but I do have the valve shown in the attached. Do I need somehow cap this valve off? This is the one that 'spits' when the well pump shuts off. Not sure if it sucks air in between pump cycles?

Agreed. Unfortunately, I don't really have the room to plumb in before the diaphragm tank on that side of my garage. The atmospheric tank is large but it is a 300 gal vertical upright and doesn't take up too much room and is with the softener tanks and booster pump in a little 'nook' in the garage.

Sorry, I don't understand touch a key to it? The reason I have no tank media is mentioned above. The tanks were in storage and the water company emptied them out and reinstalled without media at the previous owner's request. No air in water other than when I've been messing with the softener...

And yes, I do have a submersible pump at the well.

I think I understand you now. Since I have a bladder pressure tank, I don't need to introduce air into the system. Based on what I can see, the diaphragm pressure tank was added afterward as the hot water heater tanks are on the same platform and scrunched together. If I cap off that shrader...

Yes, it is at the casing. I'll have to get a photo sent over once I get back to the house. I think you are just talking about a screw on valve cap like you say for bike and car tires...usually black; sometimes chrome and back in the day dice right?

There is a shrader valve at the well pump itself. I believe it spits once the well pump cycles off and think it may be intended to relieve pressure in the line from the well pump to the pressure tank. The pressure tank has been checked within the last year and is operating fine and doesn't short...

Here is a photo of the pressure tank that.

The well has a 120v convenience outlet and a short stubby 2' tall mailbox type brick and mortar house around it with cast stone cap. I plug in a heat lamp in the winter to keep from freezing. Not much of an issue in North Texas but still good to have. There is a schrader valve on the well pump...

I think the well pump / pressure tank will delivery 8 gpm for backwashing. I will check with a couple 5 gallon buckets to be sure. The atmospheric tank came with the purchase of the house and is already plumbed. By the looks of how the 2 water heaters are situated and very close together, I'm...

The tanks are empty. I've removed them and dumped them out and only trace media (like a couple of ounces) from previous removal is in there.

Yes very odd to have equipment containing no media. I got the story when the purification company lab tech came out. The previous owner had moved from another house where he had purchased this system and asked the purification company to put the equipment into storage until he had a new home...

Yes; KL before softener. I don't see where your atmospheric tank enters the sequence. I don't know where that should be if it is needed. I would think before KL and softener. You probably implied that. A submersible in your 300 gallon tank would be quieter and would probably take less power...
