hello, guys, i back again.

i have 2 questions

1. is it normal for water to be left in the brine tank ? how much ?

2. the city was working on the water main down the street. on the other end...

another question. the brine tank, is there any water in it after a regen ?

i am using the manual that came with the unit.

that does help, indeed. thanx

another question.

what happens if, for whatever reason, it doesn't regen and the water goes hard ?

oh. and, how long can i expect the resin to last ?

lol, you ain't tell'n me anything i don't know. i have reading glass's all over the place.

and perhaps you should learn to count :D(jk. my pages are not even numbered :rolleyes:). mine is on pg5,...

thanx DH.

F6. i thought i saw a hard reset somewhere in the manual, also a soft reset. i just looked and can't find it now, but that is SOP for me.

a hard reset and 20 sec of programming did it:thumbsup: :cool:

THANX man !!!

i knew it wasn't hard. but something tripped me up, and made it hard.

next question :
since this thing has been...

ok, i did just that. it displays 2 perameters, DO & RT. then it reverts bad to in service mode. magnet trick does nothing.
this thing is really pissing me off. it is now unplugged.

ok, i just tried to program it.

i pushed the up/down buttons. it displayed 15, push regen button. displayed 2:00, push regen button.
it does not display H20. it just skips to time. i tried it...

i did that, it does nothing, and i used a good magnet. its not in bypass, the water is soft, no doubt.

yes. thanx. that really helps a lot. but, i have about 37 hardness. if i change that number, do i change any others ?

also, i saw where you said to check the flow meter with a magnet. the magnet...

can i get that cheat sheet ? thanx


i did a test on the water yesterday. 1 drop turned it blue right off the bat , lol. wow
i need to get a farrel so i can hook up the fridge water.

do these things soften the water, if it is not powered up ?

ok guys. we now have soft water :cool:. i could tell, because as i washed my hands, it feels like all of the soap is not off. i don't like that, but i hope i get used to it.

now. i understand...

around here, everybody carries salt.

rock salt, are you talking about the stuff they spread on the roads ? i will look for the other stuff. 8 bags of it :eek:
i hope my house doesn't tilt over...

ok. i didn't thoroughly read the instructions. i don't see where it says how much salt, or what kind, i should get.

i'm a dope. i overlooked that they had email me a installation guide. and it looks good, so far.

i ended up getting it for ohiopurewater.com, $630. but idk if i have these things = gravel base, an upper distributor basket.

i now have it, it comes in 4 boxs. you can see them in the 2nd pic....

ok. i just ordered the 7000. i will report back when i get it.

ok fellas. a few more questions.
i am getting the 7000
1. valve connection. i have 3/4 copper. should i get the 1" or 1 1/4" pvc ?
2. rectangle or round brine tank ? space is not an issue.
3. it...

ok, fella's. i am chewing on all this. a few more questions. my main is 3/4" . do i need the 7000sxt larger valve for this ? the extra $60 for it is fine, if it is going to help me. but seeing as...

ok, fella's. i have to admit , this stuff is a bit over my head.
so i am just going to ask.

on the short list. 5600sxt, 7000sxt. either 48000 or 64000. saving $$$ on salt is a GOOD thing. as is...

ok, fella's. i got my HACH 5B test kit today. i am glad when i buy something that i am happy with.


i did 2 tests & i was very carefull to get the amounts correct.
the first one, the pink was...

ok, thanx. i will report back when i get the kit.
