As long as the tank is regenerated every 7-9 days or sooner, and the softener was correctly sized for the peak demand flow rate needed, channeling is rarely a problem.Please advise whether twin 10" will be too large for 2 people.
I obviously like to with higher diameter to reduce pressure loss but try to avoid channeling as well.
Is twin 10" for 2 people will be okay or risky for channeling?
I think we use one tank in one week or so.
Is it okay for another tank to stay without water for 1 week?
Or I should go with twin 9" instead?
Thank you.
And unless you've changed your mind and now are thinking of buying a Kinetico, the tank diameter is not a problem.
When you find out what cuft volume of resin you need for the flow rate you need, the cuft volume dictates the size of the tank. A 10" tank gets you 1.5 cuft with a constant 12 gpm SFR. And if you think about channeling which is caused by low flows, a higher flow should collapse the channel because of the higher flow compacting the resin bed as the water goes down through the resin.
