Dittohead,
I've been saying 8 lbs for a long time but get shot down and made to look like I don't know what I'm talking about. When using 6 lbs, you must take out the reserve which means you really only have 16k worth of usable resin. I use 8 lb because it makes the math easier. Thanks.
The current setting is 8/10. I rebedded with about 1.25 cf of resin...that was going about an inch above the turbolator DT as suggested by Gary, which is about 2/3 full. The system is a Fleck 5600 controller (metered) with a 10x44 tank, 48,000 grain . Does setting it at a higher rate cause it to also to regen more often, using more water and salt? Boy, this stuff is pretty technical. Thanks for taking the time to help the do it yourself people.
Yes I've been telling you you're wrong for a couple years and it's because you make comments like the one above.Dittohead,

And that means that to you there is only one way to do it.It is your OPINION I am wrong. I was taught that when you use 6 lb of salt you get 20k. Take away a reserve of 20% and that's 16K. By using 8 lbs of salt and 20k, I have taken the reserve into account. It has worked for me for the past 22 years. I think I will stick with it.
What is the 1/2 cu. ft GAC pre filter tank?
This is awkward, but...
