water softener

Hi guys, I live out in the boonies and am on well water. Lately I have been noticing an orange slime on the toilet bowls and a smell in the water. My system is a big blue 20" filter upstream from a 10x54 Katalox tank and then into a 10x54 softener. I originally thought the problem was the...

Hello all! We're on a well with fairly high iron content from what I'm told. We're really struggling with water pressure/flow in the whole house. The shower is weak, and if someone flushes a toilet, it slows to a drip. Same goes for trying to run two faucets at once, barely a trickle. The...

I apologize for the lengthy post. Any help is appreciated! I moved to Middle TN from North FL about 7 months ago and have been fighting the water the entire time!! I have never experienced anything like this, I have overpaid for a few different tanks, and we are still MISERABLE with the water...

Noticed my softener wasn't using salt, figured it was a salt clog, but when I was emptying the salt, I noticed that the "people" dial that sets the capacity of the unit is spinning freely. Also after I ran a manual regen, the capacity setting was at zero. In every video I've seen on programming...

Anyone experience any problems with Diamond Crystal Bright and Soft pellets recently? I know this has been discussed many times before but I'm wondering if the slightly grey color of Morton Clean and Protect salts are fine. My back story is the following. Recently, my brine tank was...

Hey everyone. Been reading the forums and learning a lot in trying to fix my water softener, but still no success. Hoping someone can help me get this thing working again. Here is what I have, what I have done, and what I am experiencing. Softener * Clack WS1 (I'm pretty sure) valve * 54" tank...

Hello community! : ) My quest here is to design a new commercial salt brine water softener system targeted to the hospitality (motel) industry. My early thoughts: Basically, I want to eliminate the complex specialized "all-in-one" multi-valve and electronic control head unit residing on top of...

Hello, I'm trying to help my landlord sort out the well & softener system at my home. The house has been suffering from low pressure/flow so the landlord had the well guy come out. Well guy came out and said the softener wasn't working and we'd have to get someone over to service the...

So… my fiancé and I just realized yesterday that we have a Rain Soft system on the side of our house. We’ve been here for a little over a year and when we moved in we were never told that it was out there (it’s encased in a storage box) and/or how to use it and maintain it. It’s obvious it...

I have a water softener installed in the garage but I would like to have my spigots have the same soft water for my outdoor misting pump system. It's 1,000 psi and works excellent in the Arizona heat but it leaves a coating of hard water "milk" all over my covered patio, grill etc. I attached a...

I got quotes from several water treatment companies to install a water softener at a location that is not used much. Both are pushing prefiltering, but one suggests an inline cartridge style carbon filter and the other is suggesting a backwashing carbon tank. The guy pushing the cartridge type...

Hello friends! Complete idiot here, and believe me I’ve tried everything before I reached out here. Basically I have hard water that is unresolved. My landlord is extremely unhelpful, unfriendly, etc..I have what I believe is an air injection DUAL tank fleck 5600se. That’s what’s printed on the...

Hello, thanks for taking time to help! TL:DR - want to purchase my own unit, need help finding a quality unit; I want a unit that is efficient for my situation and don't want to get ripped off (what's marketing bs what's real?) My current unit is ~20 years old, stopped taking salt. Due to age...

Hello, I appreciate the help of the many on this forum in terms of supporting people like me (somewhat clueless homeowner) and our water softener questions. I've gone through many of the posts and I think I have a good idea of what I need to do but would like a second (or third, or fourth...

I'm updating my water supply system. Currently I have: Pleated Sediment Filter -> Water Softener The sediment filter doesn't generally capture too much, but I'm thinking it should be there anyway. Thoughts? I'm adding an AIO Catalytic Carbon filter primarily to remove potential VOC's (a few...
