Most residential well water needs to be regenerated more frequently than most city water.

Older softeners usually were smaller than today's softeners because old houses had 1/2" plumbing and...

You do not want hot water going up to the control valve through the drain line whenever the P/T relief valve opens.

No I don't wonder why you have a problem with me. I used to be just like you. Nor do I wonder about those others either. Remember that I reply to what y'all say, not about you as to what kind of...

A better answer is to leave it alone, it will be sucked out during the next regeneration, and that way you don't have to guess how much to take out or deal with getting rid of salt water.

And IMO...

Here's the question; "In general, how much water should one add to the brine tank after cleaning it and loading new salt?". Now that is after cleaning a salt tank but how about when installing a new...

Add water to cover the inlet of the brine pickup tube Usually about 3", and then 1 gallon for each 3 lbs of salt in your salt dose.

Yes, sorry, you should wait at least 2 hrs after the first is done unless you have Pre Brine Refill.

There's no way to know how high the water should be without knowing what size salt tank he has, how mush salt is in it and if he has a salt grid or not.

He may have water going into the salt tank...

You can, iMO that is the only place it should go. See my reply above.

Another option is to go with the advice of someone that has serviced more than just his own air injection system. That would...

I say the injector should go after the pressure tank and be the correct model based on the pressure switch range the system is operated at.

Installing it before the pressure tank and pressure...

Your resin may not be fully regenerated. You could change the salt dose to 30 Lbs and do two manual regenerations, one after the other, with no water use during or between them. Then change the salt...

I don't know how many air injection systems you've worked on other than yours but I have worked on a few over the years. I don't like them but..

How does the injector see more pressure when it is...

If you install the injector after the pressure tank and have a correctly sized retention tank with a bottom drain and water out the top, you don't need two tanks. An 8" c 48" is too small.

In your manual you should find how to reset back to default settings.

A grain or two of hardness isn't going to use much salt. Your salt setting gets you 3333 grains per lb.

I think you have way too much water going into the salt tank or, should not be using the float to shut it off. The float valve is a safety to prevent salt water overflow from the tank, not to set the...

You haven't posted your math but...

I've told you how I would program it and that you can use any hardness figure you want to. Of course using a lower figure than the actual hardness will cause a...

That iron is in ppBillion and means it is less than .1 ppmillion and you do not need to compensate for it.

So use 22 gpg or since all the math is done for you already using your original 23 gpg...

No, there were two factors a lack of sales because I was overpriced because I listened to some hotshot national sales manager while spending a large amount of money on advertising that didn't work;...

I can't read the picture but I used the 23 gpg you posted, if that is converted from the report into gpg, you divide their figure by 17.1 ppm and that is the gpg. And that is what you should use.

He has city water that is chlorinated so he will not have any iron or manganese. I have never seen anything about compensating for anything other than iron and manganese.

I used the 23 gpg he...

The builders recommend whatever brand the guy that is going to pay him a commission sells.

Well at least those that don't know what they are doing or don't have the tools to work on them. I've never been a plumber, nor a driller. But I did a lot of plumbing to install my water treatment...

There are few to next to no ROs that have the UV as part of it as was shown in a picture here or a link.

That type of UV/RO is point of use (POU) and most UV is sold as point of entry (POE)...

You didn't know that opening a valve without shutting off the water before that valve that you'd get full pressure flow!!

Gate valves are a very bad choice for a valve that is left in one position...

If you can recall I told you the other day that I don't have a book but...

That must be from a supplier (maybe those selling a mixed bed softener) and I've never seen anything like that but I have...
