I'll be honest. I searched Google AI for this answer because it's long and I didn't want to type it all out. If this doesn't fix the problem, I would call whoever you bought it from and get a new valve under warranty. Why the E1 error occurs on initial setup When you power up the Fleck 5600SXT...

If you have "Frothy Water" / "Air" after a regeneration, this indicates the brine tank float assembly is not "Seating Properly" after all the brine water has been drawn out of the brine tank during the brining cycle. This causes air to be drawn for the balance of the brine cycle, into the water...

It's likely the pairing of the small brine tank you have with the 48k capacity system. A 48k capacity system will require approximately 20# of salt to regenerate efficiently. With a small brine tank, the salt will be used up quickly; consequently, following regenerations will not get a full salt...

Pull the head off and see if the upper distributor basket under the valve is plugged up with iron. If so, clean it. It's going into a vacuum but struggling. Also, check the brine draw time in the SXT programming.

Rebed the system with Katalox Light filtration media. This will raise the PH to levels where manganese and iron will be oxidized and fall out of solution for filtration.

Which model of AIO filtration system are you using? The Fleck or Clack valve?

I have had experience with the WaterCare Ion Pro system. The valve is a clack valve (it is not proprietary). The system draws air as the oxidant and operates by metering water usage and on day override (typically 3 days). The Ion Pro uses Birm as the filter media. You also have trace...

You don't need a vent for the floor drain just make sure there is an air gap approximately 1 1/2" from the drain line to floor. I would not put RV anti freeze in the softener. A heavy brine solution would work fine but I would take the softener control valve off and siphon the water in the...

Yes that Kinetico system is way too small (2/30k tanks). With my calculations the system is running every day if not more often. I believe a 5 disc is 250 gallons on a 60. At minimum 8 people will use close to 400 gpd. So yes it is undersized for your home and water chemistry. It should have...

How old is the RO system and when was the last time you changed the filters including the membranes? It sound like you have sulfate reducing bacteria. You may need to change all the filters and sanitize everything, including the RO. Shock chlorinate the holding tank, household plumbing and...

Those "zero" test results for iron are pretty typical with these community wells. The problems arise when they flush the water mains and in summer with high water usage causing oxidation of iron. And all of sudden you have Brown Water! The BB filter will reduce the incoming pressure somewhat...

Knowing the water chemistry would help us provide assistance. If you are on a community well supply this could very well be oxidized iron (thats what it looks like to me). This is a very common problem on water supplies like this. A whole house sediment pre-filter (4"x 10" or 20" Big Blue...

That does not appear to be working in this application. Removing the hardness before the KL may very well solve this problem. As Dittohead pointed out. Solving difficult water problems often means some experimenting. I would say this instance calls for some experimenting.

What is the total hardness of the water? Elevated PH levels are documented in this KL manual (http://www.watchwater.com/home/downloads/KL_operation_manual.pdf) due to calcium carbonate undergoing CO2 diffusion which in consequence would elevate the PH relevant to the incoming hardness. This...
