We were charged $3,500 for the sulfate unit. How much less do you sell the carbon tank/filter for? I don't even know what type of carbon we have or what size it is (live and learn).
It depends on the size and what control valve is used but a local dealer would want maybe $900-1100 including installation. My delivered price of the same filter is $600.
IIRC, the sulfate filter should have been after the softener.That makes two things we paid for that got swapped out and never got compensated for: the sulfate unit and chlorination system (he installed the stenner w/hydro peroxide instead)
The softener was installed after the sulfate unit...are you saying it should have been installed before the sulfate unit and if so, why?
You use the same solution feeder to inject peroxide or chlorine. They look and work the same because they are one in the same; there is no difference between them except the chlorine or peroxide you pour in them....
A carbon filter backwashes only, it does not suck a solution out of a brine tank as a softener or sulfate filter does. The backwashed only valve usually costs less than a regenerating valve. So if they took the regenerating valve and gave you a backwashed only valve, you lost money. Or they could have converted the valve to the backwashed only version, and charged you to do it removing parts they didn't leave with you and they will sell them to someone else while repairing a regenerated valve; with free parts they got from you. Crooks.You lost me with the control valve on a carbon filter is a non regenerated backwashed only control valve. I don't recall if they swapped parts but what difference does it make? Our carbon tanks do backwash...explain please
And they really took you charging $3500 for the sulfate filter, unless it was very large; like 3 cubic foot or larger. And they may have fully regenerated your expensive resin, sanitized it and sold it to someone else in a $3500 filter. Carbon is like $100 per cubic foot, anion resins about $400+.
