A properly sized filter and appropriate maintenance can prove to be beneficial to your water quality and longevity of your softener. It is amazing what a pre-filter can remove over time. It is a low...

Putting another half cube would make it a 'packed bed' of nearly so. This would only be useful with a counter current regeneration system. In other words, where the salt brine would come up from the...

Sometimes the simplest solution is the easiest. Check to make sure the by-pass is not open. There is an easy way to determine if it is drawing brine.

Has it been using salt? Check all toilets to...

To get those numbers, generally they are using fine-mesh resins with packed beds.

The Kinetico MACH 2040s OD is rated NSF at 5222 g/lb of salt.

Make sure your toilets are not running or you have a drip anywhere. 0.1 gallons per minute is 244 gallons per day. Water may be passing by the metering turbine without counting the volume. Always...

If possible, flush all the resin into a large container and flush out the tanks. I would bet that you would see a lot of dirt and foreign matter in your resin. This can be separated and the resin...

sss,
sorry, it looks like we lost you. Not unusual. Sorry.
Sent you a PM. If you'd like, reply.

déjà vu all over again...

In the base level, are there balls or pegs? The brine draw occurs about two minutes after regeneration initiates.

Water pushes toward the brine tank during all other stages.

It could be the...

In my observations, When the tank is empty and beginning to fill, I get about three drops of concentrate for every drop of permeate. As the tank fills, it increases to about 5 drops and then before...

Air charged tanks require much more waste water. An air-charged tank when completely empty is very efficient wit a near 1:1 ratio of permeate water to waste water. But as the tank begins to fill, the...

No, there are three connection pre-, membrane and post-filter. Additional filter choices to address nitrate/nitrite, arsenic, and other contaminants could be beneficial. I am not sure about...

Actually, it takes less space than any other RO. It is a about one foot square and only 10 inches tall. It fits under most garbage disposals. It can be moved easily and actually transported to...

Thanks. Recommending any water treatment plan without knowing actual water quality test results should be avoided unless on a theoretical or academic basis. But you are attempting to address your...

BDriven, I think you have realized that there are a couple of individuals here who are more interested in providing you help. You clearly want to solve a problem and are looking for details. I would...

I just intercepted a customer who had a Pyrolox filter (10" x 44) that lasted about one year until his pressure dropped to near zero. By-passed it and pressure resumed. I explained why that was...

Odor does not cause iron, high or otherwise, or manganese. Iron may cause odor problems, however. A regular softener does not handle H2S. Sulfur passes right through a softener almost...

I'm with you; the venturi always goes before the pressure tank. That is very basic water treatment sequence.

First of all, what are your water test results. This should be the first question anyone should ask. When you say "high" iron that is subjective as for some 0.4 ppm is high whereas for others 3.0 ppm...

Well if you already ordered it, good luck. First of all 15lbs is not a little KDF. It is very heavy given that it will only provide about an inch of media for the sulfur water to travel through....

Wow, I have been to Utila. Some great scuba diving. What a great little island! Lived in Teguc and La Ceba.

Some photos would really help.

I agree with Tom that chlorine is not good for resins due to its chemical compound and the resins reaction to contact with it. Resins will swell with chlorine. Eventually, they will become 'mushy'...

I know, you respectfully point out how what someone says might be misunderstood and he comes back with childish, personal insults.

I guess Gary didn't read what I said. If he had, then he would not be claiming I didn't know what I had already said.
