Good morning, I have been trying to read as much as I can over the last 3 weeks and am still extremely confused because there are so many options and I still have no clue what I should be looking for. I am hoping someone here can give me some recommendations to narrow my research. We recently...

I have been having water fluctuating water pressure issues for the past 1.5 years. I have a water softener and another filter for Iron, Manganese, and Sulfide that was installed in 2014 (before I owned the house). I finally had a plumber come out and we actually worked through the issue step by...

I am looking to replace my gold series Culligan with something else. I am leaning towards Fleck but open to other options. Culligan came out and recommended to replace my current with an HE1 10". The pricing was just outrageous. I have been looking at the Fleck 5600SXT, 5810SXT and the 5810...

Hello all, I just moved into a new house that has a water softening system. I've never had one before and am just trying to figure out what I have and what I need to do to maintain it. There are two tanks connected in series that each have an independent regen cycle every 3 days. What I mean...

Ok, I've been trying to decide how to best tackle this treatment system I'm putting together. For the most part, our water quality is relatively good. Right now my biggest concerns are the nitrate and pH levels. We do also get small black flake of what I initially thought was chips of shale...

Hi there, I recently purchased a new home with a dug well water supply. The previous owner has installed quite a water softener system. There are numerous resin tanks (three tall tanks, two shorter ones) and two brine bins. The two shorter resin tanks have a manual regeneration scheduler I...

All, I've been reading off this forum for a while and trust the great knowledge within ... I've been doing my research and am looking to invest in Water Treatment for my home. The main issue relates to Cholrine/Chloramine smell and taste during some parts of the year as well as itching in the...

It appears that I have quite the plumbing conundrum on our hands! My wife and I recently moved into a new house (year and half ago) and since, we've slowly been updating our plumbing system. We're on a well system that includes an acid neutralizer, water softener and a whole house filter. In...

I have a Culligan Gold Series Water Softener system. My resin tank (9x48) was leaking and I bought a generic replacement. Of course, the resin tank adapter/coupler (which sits between the tank and the control head) has a different thread size (propriety to Culligan) than the generic tank...

Hello, My girlfriend has an old Great Lakes Water Soft Company water softener, and for a few weeks now it has not been using up the salt that’s in the tank. Sadly the business is no longer running, and there’s no user manual to be found, or a model number. I figured out that there seems to be...

I'm having all of the plumbing replaced in my complete gut job remodel of my house, and I would like to treat the city district water coming in so that I have less hard water spots on glass and fixtures, and prolong the life of the PEX plumbing, etc. Before the remodel, I had an RO system under...

Not sure what to do... I have Fleck 7000 unit. I have noticed for some time now that my water is not right but didn't have time to check on this. Finally this weekend I cleaned up brine tank, added salt and took water sample while in in bypass mode. The hardens was showing as 250. Did...

We our renovating a bathroom that didn't originally have a shower in it. Now that we've moved everything (including putting down new flooring), we decided that it needed a water softener and there's not a drain. Do you all have a solution for that or alternatives? Thanks for any advice.

I've used this forum several time to find answers but this is my first post. If the answer is already posted somewhere please let me know. I have a Kenmore water softener that was working fine. I decided to replace it with more expensive whole house system including a softener that didn't work...

Getting ready to put in a water softener and was advised to install a GAC filter to remove chlorine ahead of the softener. I have city water (no iron) and chlorine level range of .22-.35 ppm with a running annual average of .30 ppm. Is this high enough to rate installing a filter? (I live in...

Our water softener, a Culligan Medalist from about 10 years ago, began leaking a little while back. I'll be purchasing a replacement unit, a Fleck 5600sxt, myself and would like someone to install it. Please message me if you do work around the Las Vegas area.

Hello. I'm a new homeowner and am planning to install a timed or flow sensor-triggered recirculating pump at my water heater as well as sensor bypass valves under my kitchen and bathroom sinks. But I have lots of questions/concerns about how this will affect my water softener. I’ve attached a...
