New Water Softener Programming

[schmeckp]

I just received my 80K Fleck 5810SXT based softener. We're on a well with 30 GPG hardness, and use around 175 -200 gal/day.

The softener has 2.5cu ft of Purolite C100E Softening Resin. BLFC .25, DLFC 4.0, injector: red.

I'd appreciate if you could provide ideal settings. Would prefer to keep salt at 7-8lb/cuft.

Thanks,
Jason

Iron level?

BLFC=0.125? Look for a white label under the cover.

0 iron
BLFC = .25

System info (not programmed)
salt lb/cuft : 7.5 ; A choice ( efficiency vs capacity)
BLFC : 0.25 ; Brine Refill rate GPM
cubic ft resin : 2.5 ; Same as (nominal grains/32,000)
Raw hardness : 30 ; including iron etc
Estimated gal/day ; 185 ; 60 gal per person prediction (auto-tunes)
Est days/regen ; 8.90 ; presuming days each use estimated

Fleck 5810SXT Settings:
DF = Gal ; Units
VT = 5810 ; Valve type
RF = dF2b ; Downflow, Double Backwash
CT = Fd ; Meter Delayed regen trigger
C = 57.6 ;capacity in 1000 grains
H = 35 ; Hardness grains after comp factor
RS = cr ; Cr = base reserve on recent experience
DO = 30 ; Day Override (typ 30 if no iron/Mn)
RT = 2:00 ; Regen time (default 2 AM)
B1 = 5 ; Backwash 1 (minutes) [3...10]
Bd = 60 ; Brine draw minutes
B2 = 4 ; Backwash 2 (minutes)[3...10]
RR = 10 ;Rapid Rinse minutes
BF = 25 ; Brine fill minutes
FM = t1.2 (usual) ; t1.2 is default flow meter
RE = OFF ; Relay
VR = OFF ; ?

The hardness compensation is a high-hardness compensation.

This is the automated version where it uses what it observes to calculate the reserve. It starts pessimistic. If you would like a fixed reserve instead, let me know.

Use the CR setting, it adjusts automatically over the next 6 weeks where it will usually find the most accurate settings automatically.
