Hi,
SST-60 is touted as reducing salt usage by 40% and the ability to remove manganese. Is the 40% reduced salt usage still apply at low salt dosages (e.g. 6#/cuft)?
My water recently tested as follows:
Water Analyisis:
Alkalinity 189 mg/L
pH 8 mg/L
Hardness 12 Gr/gal (205.2 mg/L)
Iron 0 mg/L
TDS 300 mg/L
Manganese 0.53 mg/L
This analysis is taken after the storage tank. This tank is fed by a well which drops the water in from the top to aerate the water in the tank. Prior to doing this the water had a slightly metalic taste, but after "aging" in the tank that taste is gone or is not noticeable to me. This is somewhat confirmed by the fact that the water straight from the well originally had a small (.5mg/l) amount of iron in it, but the more recent analysis shows 0 mg/l. Purolite is quite firm in not letting air come in contact with the water prior to running it through a cation softener, as they state here:
(http://www.purolite.com/Customized/CustomizedControls/Products/Resources/rid_70.pdf).
My well/tank arrangement is already installed and is not going to change, so if I have iron issues that appear despite not showing up in the analysis, then I will have to deal with it. My main concern is whether or not SST-60 will use less salt. I'm not to concerned about the financials, more concerned about dumping salt on my property.
Thanks,
Chris
