Hello everyone!
We built a new house late last year and had a softener/whole home carbon filter installed. The system is using a ton of salt (40 lb every 4-5 weeks). I know the settings are wrong and I am seeking assistance in programming my system to ensure maximum efficiency. Please see specs for system, house and water quality below:
Water quality:
16 grains hardness
330 sodium
0 iron
7.9 ph
580 ppm TDS
House specs:
Current four people with possible addition of the fifth (so softener was sized to accommodate). Currently we use around 60 gal/day per person.
We are on septic and well.
Prefer to use potassium chloride since we are on septic and my septic company cautioned about introducing salt from a softener to the aerobic septic system.
Setup:
Fleck 7000SXT, 48000 Grain Mid Plate Vortex Water Conditioner wiTh 13x65 Mid Plate Vortech Tank, 1.5 Cu Ft High Capacity 10% Cross Linked Resin, 1.5 Cu Ft High Activity Carbon,
18x33 Polyethylene Brine Tank with Safety Cut-Off, Bypass, 1" Tail Pieces.
Trojan Max E4, 1" UV light
BFLC sticker shows: .5 gpm
Thanks in advance,
Brandon
