Hello;
I have just installed a 1 cu/ft filox filter for iron removal. I have a chlorine injector and mixing tank ahead of the new filter. My iron is 12 ppm at well head, H2s is present but not a problem since I introduced the chlorine, and a ph of 6.5.
How long should I backwash the new filter? The valve, Fleck 7000 sxt, came out of the box set at 30 min backwash and then followed by a 10 min "Rapid Rinse".
This seems to waste a lot of water in 40 min. Is it required or excessive? How often should it backwash? I have it set for daily now.
Thanks
