Yes, I understand how to subtract the static water level from the well depth, and I know you do too, so I didn't use the proper words of water column height vs. well depth. Sorry.

I don't think...

LOL, no argument there, Tom. Pretty simple. Though I haven't used it long enough to know how much iron it will actually overcome, in the long run.

I recognize your points, Gary, and can only say...

Gary, half a gallon of bleach per 100' of well? Are you SERIOUSLY giving out this advice on a public forum, with no other guidance? I sincerely hope no one pays you any attention, without doing...

So basically, you are full of $hit, and have NO BASIS for saying what you said to me. Ok, thanks for clearing that up for us.

Or, if lots of iron....

Can you say WHY it is a bad way?

I'd prefer you go with one of the pro's recommendations on the BLFC and DLFC, they know better what to use and why. But as for my numbers, those are based on both the BLFC as well as TIME... you can...

Let me clarify what I was saying... What I did was to put the 1/4 cup into the filter bowl, open a faucet for about 30-45 seconds to ensure all the SIO was in the softener, then I set the softener to...

11 minutes times 0.5 gpm yields 5.5 gallons, times 3 lbs per gallon gives you 16.5 lbs per regen.

22 minutes times .125 gpm yields 2.75 gallons, times 3 lbs per gallon gives you 8.25 lbs per...

I gotcha. I can share with you MY settings for a 1.5 cuft system, but your best bet would be to get a cheat sheet from Dittohead on here specifically for the 7000SXT on a 64K tank. He really knows...

You will pull from the brine tank until all the water is sucked out and a check valve stops the flow. It's a brine fill/slow rinse process, so after all the brine is drawn out, it continues to push...

Assuming 60 GPPPD, you could get a 48K, set it for 8 # of salt, and go 10 days between regens, using about 438 lbs of salt per year. Or set it for 6 # of salt, go about 9 days between regens, and use...

valve /valv/
Noun: A device for controlling the passage of fluid through a pipe or duct.

flow control /flo kontrol/
( engineering ) Any system used to control the flow of gases, vapors,...

I thought I might add, if you really want to remove water spots from glass (not from metal, many metals react by forming hydrogen gas, which is highly flammable)... sodium hydroxide (lye) is a...

Removing silica stains is tough; typically, CLR and similar products will not work ( they are acid-based, as is silica). When I lived in Hawaii, it literally ruined vehicle paint jobs as well as...

And therein lies the rub... what concentration, and how much contact time? At 200 ppm, dishes are recommended for 1 minute of contact time. I'd warrant that 10-30 ppm during the brine draw cycle...

Looks like he got a pretty accurate average over more than a few months. Definitely NOT your normal consumer here!!

I just gave you an example of how they would regenerate on different days, and using differing amounts of salt. Not sure what I was unclear about above. I even provided numbers to show the salt...

And THAT is exactly what he is referring to that should be linear, the amount of water (and hence salt) that needs to be put into the resin each regen. A 48K tank SHOULD take exactly twice as much...

Yes, yes, and yes. I agree that going higher is better than going low, when sizing a system. When I did mine, based on all of the advice here, I used 60 GPPPD. See, I listen!! But... here we are...

Grrrr, was typing a response, and the power went out. Hate that!

My unit came with instructions to chlorinate before first use. I don't recall the amount, and it's not in the default 7000SXT...

There is a huge difference... using the metered valve, your estimated GPPPD has no effect on the system, other than the aforementioned days between regens.

In a timed system, your GPPPD actually...

He's not asking about the linearity of the amount of salt used to regenerate; rather, he is asking why the time to fill is not linear, which it SHOULD be. A 2 cu ft system will require twice as much...

You got it on the brine fill. The amount of salt used is determined by the amoung of gallons added at the end of the cycle, assuming that 3 lbs/gal of salt will dissolve. Next cycle, ALL of that...
