As stated I am new to the forum. I have read many posts on here as well as other forums in the past few days. I am on a well that is 115'. Pump is sitting at 110' and is in 3' of water. I know that doesn't seem like much, but I have run this way for over 5 years now and have flushed the well for 48hrs. at the head, as well as filling a pool with 7600 gallons without sucking any air. My problem is with silt. I run a Grundfos SS impeller pump to prevent impeller damage. I need to remove the silt for obvious reasons, as well as soften the water. My plan to remove the silt is to run through a Rusco 60 mesh SS sediment trapper than into a Fleck 7000SXT 2.0 sediment backwash filter. I will be going into a softener at this time which is where I need the help. I have a Fleck 8500 Econominder (mechanical) that I used to use until it started leaking. I cleaned everything out and bought new media for it and purchased all the parts to rebuild it before they became unavailable. I am wondering if I can just replace the 8500 dual tank control valve with a 9100sxt dual tank control valve to upgrade before reassembling all of it. Can I reuse my 2 tanks, which are still like new and my brine tank, which is also like new? If I replace the control valve is there anything else I would need to make this work?
I know this is kinda long, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks, Chas
