Today I have a question regarding my water softener. I'm not sure I have it set correctly. It is a 40,000 gr. single stage design with 4 stages of cycling. The issue I have surrounds the time I have each stage set for. I have tried for a few years to find information on this on the net without success. It seems the industry has a muffle on the subject. There are only two people in my home and we don't drink the water as we have an RO system. We are on a well. We use K-Lite not salt. I have 1000gals set between cycles. The unit is a Fleck 5600se single backwash. Other settings are:

Iron 340000 units


Backwash 16mins.
Brine Rinse 16mins
Rapid Rinse 18mins
Brine Refill 11mins


Any assistance with this would be helpful

Thanks

Without knowing how much hardness and or iron you are trying to remove I can't tell you whether or not its set right
