Well water -submersible pump - Central Florida area
TDS=131
Hardness=8 grains
pH=7
Fe=1.2 ppm
Also 'some' sulfur
4 people in house, 3 baths
Water is not too bad and have been getting by on bottled drinking water. However, at times, plugs of blackish-dark dark purple water flushes out from either hot or cold lines. (House had Culligan system but had it pulled out years ago and think this might be old potassium permanganate caught in the lines??) Just bought new washer and steam dryer so am very concerned that this material might gunk up the machine/laundry.
My son gave me his UNused Clack WS1 water softener that he purchased on line a few years ago. Unfortunately don't seem to have all the instructions and am trying to piece together information. The system has been plumbed and am now in the programming phase.
Question #1 Is there an overall sequential step-by-step set of instructions that can take me from the plumbing stage through all the programming sequences? I understand how to enter in choices, but do not know how to decide which choice to choose. For ex; whether to post or pre fill? Single or double backwash with normal or longer settings?
Q#2 – One of the steps says to ‘enter your P number’ which I assume is “Program Code†but it then refers you to tables in the manual that only relate to the length of the cycles when the valve is set up as a softener. Can’t find anything that might give me a P number. What is this?
Q#3 – Re Filter Set up –
Fill volume: how do I determine if the filter requires a regenerant or not and if so, how do I determine the set value?
Or, too many questions and should I just call my friendly well guy or plumber and have them finish the programming?
Appreciate any suggestions or explanations.
