Thanks again Gary Slusser and Bob999 for replying.
Gary, the company offering the Fleck 9500 had suggested the 9500 based on the information I had told him as far as the flow rate based on the water collected and time the pump turned on and off as well as the well drill log sheet that I picked up from the township. Prior to meeting any water treatment company, I had originally thought about getting the Fleck 9100 with a 4cuft per resin tank and posted my question about flow rate and about the 16gpm I saw on a internet store for the 9100. Now I know it is more than just the flow rate of the control valve but also the amount of resin needed.
I don't feel comfortable posting the actual price quoted between the Kinetico CP and the Fleck 9500, but the price difference installed was a little over 2k. That was one of the reason why I was leaning towards the Kinetico, plus it had 0.5cuft extra per resin tank. I actually have a friend in Florida that has that phosphate injection system for his irrigation. I remember seeing the plastic tank. It definitely made a noticeable difference but you could see a lighter iron stains compared to his neighbors around the development that I believe had no treatment at all. I do not know what his iron level is but the stains around the development were a really dark brown tint on the trees, driveways, house.
Bob999, the reason why I believe I need the 20+ gpm treated because the sprinkler company told me that they will run the zones in order to keep the well pump running all the time without turning off. They will also be increasing the pressure switch setting as he needs at a minimum 25psi at the sprinkler. Currently it is set at 40/60. Thanks for the link on the Ohio Pure. Its quite the price difference compared to the local quote I got. I always support local business as much as possible especially when I can get support if things go astray. But then again, the price difference is tough to swallow. I'm going to take a drive and see if I can find a neighbor with sprinklers running without stains and see which water treatment company he/she used to get another quote locally.
