I'm in the process of ordering a softener for my home and would like a little guidance.
There are 4 of us in the house (2 are children but want to have the capacity for when there older)
The house is 3000sf with 3 full baths and a 1/2 bath. The shower heads are low flow and the toilets are all 1.6g flush.we have a front load washing machine and a dishwasher.
The water line coming from the well is 1" and the water line in the house is 3/4" pex.
We're on a private well
Hardness is 39.65 grains
Iron is 1.1
From doing some research and browsing this forum I've determined that I need a 4 or 4.5 cubic foot softener using 6lb of salt per cubic foot.
I've called a few online retailers and they all say I need a 2 cubic foot system. I don't believe them so let me know if I'm wrong with the size ill need.
My questions are what valve should I use fleck 7000sxt or a 2510sxt. Also is it worth upgrading the media to resin tech CG8 or fine mesh.
Also I know you can't recommend we're to buy online on the forum but if you have any PM me so its not posted on here.
If there's anything I'm missing please let me know. And sorry for being long winded.
