High fives....!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you have moved up another level .....
A .125 gpm.... very odd.
I'd do two manual regenerations at 23 lbs each back to back with no water use during or between them; one starting at like 7:30 PM and then another on your way to bed about 11 or automatically at 2 AM.. Then set the lbs back to 4.
That regenerates the whole 1.5 cuft back to max capacity of 45K and that allows you to regularly use 4 lbs of salt without noticeable leakage (hardness bleed through).
I did the regens as advised so I think I'm good to go.
I'm pretty comfortable with this salt dose business and the brine tank fill calculations at this point, as well as the brine-making step. But if you wouldn't mind, may I ask you to teach me about the other steps and the logic used to select the time for those. Specifically, I'm referring to the "backwash", "Brine Draw", "2nd Backwash" and "Rapid Rinse" steps of the process. I can see from the manual what is happening in these steps, but I don't have a clue how to select an appropriate time for each.
I'm thinking there must be some logic to determining the appropriate time to allocated for these steps, right?
Thanks in advance!
It takes years of experience to leran how many minutes for each of the cycle positions and they depend on the raw water quality, volume and type of resin and the K of capacity, the salt dose efficiency etc.. I normally use settings for good water conservation.may I ask you to teach me about the other steps and the logic used to select the time for those.

With the exception of the refill, I think those settings are way high for a 1.0 cuft softener.Oh the days of old with the Hague gold crown with the double back wash when no one else had one..
1st back wash was 10-12 minutes on the 1.0 cubic foot
Brine draw/slow rinse was 50 minutes
2nd back wash was 6 minutes
Rapid rinse was 6-8 minutes
Brine tank refill on the 1.0 cubic was 4 minutes for the 6lbs of salt.
This is awkward, but...
