Hello
I have been reading and searching through the forums looking to learn how to program our softener correctly. I need some programming advice and hope some one can help me. My family and I moved into a home a few months ago that has a Fleck 9000sxt twin softener in the basement. The tanks are 13" in diameter and 55" in height (not counting the control system). From what I gathered on the internet, this is a 2.5 cuft system? The softener works great. The problem we are having is it is going through 40lbs salt in a week. I downloaded the sxt manual from the internet and below are the following configurations on the system:
DF / GAL
VT / St1b
CT / Fl
NT / - - - 2
TS / - U 1
C / 80.0
H / 16
RS / SF
SF / 10
DO / 8
BW / 10
BD / 60
RR / 10
BD / 23
FM / t0.7
There are 4 of us, 3 adults and one child. When we bought the house we got a laboratory analysis on the well water. The following are the laboratory analysis:
Hardness: 7.82 grains
Iron: 1.32 mg/L
manganese 0.059
The laboratory statement said that "except the iron and manganese, all parameters meet the requirements established by the USEPA for potable water.
The house has 5 bathrooms all with the rain showerheads, one with multi body spray and one jacuzzi tub and front load washer
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.
