Hello all,
Long time lurker decided to go ahead and buy a new softener after messing with the old one (Kenmore) that came with my house that is no longer functional (mother board/lcd).
After some looking seems like the Fleck 5600 SXT is pretty standard and reliable. My situation.
5 people (age 40-38-6-5-3)
Well water
Hardness ~200-250 (250/17.1=14.5)
Low Iron (minimal staining on toilets)
Would the 48K (1.5 10x53) or the 64K (2.0 12x48) be better? I was leaning towards the 48 as 1 calculation I did had that out to be regen every 7 days. This is the 48K and the 64K I am looking at below. I will also be adding a full house filter before this softener. TIA
