When my Clack WS1 Valve is in Normal Filter mode I can step through various displays (gallons left on regen, gpm etc.). Can I display gpm during backwash? I tend to not want to mess with the valve while in the regen cycle as I don’t want to mess it up. Be kind of nice to check what it...

Just installed 1.5 cu Clack WS1 water softener and seems to be working good. But I have not put salt in yet (I’ll be using Potasium). And have a few questions. During a regen cycle does it suck the brine dry? I know I can force it through cycles to get it to the fill stage and let it fill it...

I have a Filox filter which is getting rid of all the Iron but barely a dent in the Manganese ~0.3 mg/L My ph is around 7.0 I think I have 2 options. Option #1) Add a Calcite filter that might bring pH up to 7.5 (at best) with the hope that the Filox will take out the Manganese. I know that...

I have an electric hot water tank in the cellar. Most pipes are insulated. Where ever I could reach :). Heat is making it to the far side of the house and 2nd floor. There are no leaks. Hard to believe it can travel that far but it is. Shutoff under sink it HOT. With everything static...

We just had a new house built. It has a Septic with a pump up to a leech field. (Maybe 10ft rise). It is supposedly back vented (not sure what that means) but if the vent on the house was high enough we didn’t need a crazy high vent at the end of the leech field. And it was high enough. I think...

My Valve was preprogrammed at the factory. I wanted to check / set the the number of days between regen. Well I was in the wrong section and I think I messed up the settings there. I think I know where to set days now. But want to put thinks back else where. It was displaying 10 min...

Going from 2” to 3” for vent. Is this a common thing? I always thought you ran the full diameter from sewer (say 3” or 4”) all the way to the exiting vent and then smaller appliances would tap into larger vents progressively. And if you had a say a 2” branch that could not connect you’d run...

I had my water tested by the well company when our well was installed. They reported 2023 for radon and they never flagged it as a concern. Reading up on it, it varies by state what’s an acceptable level and it’s well below limit. Unless you have radon in the air above 4. And I do (in the...

My house is in the process of being built so once a week I run some water through the Iron filter and backwash it. But this little air inlet thingy already started leaking. A solid squirt gun. I turned the inlet off and on a bunch of times and it slowed to a drip. I assume dirt got in there. It...

First world problems, I know. We are struggling picking bathroom fixtures. 3 baths. 1 large bathroom off master and one small one near kitchen on main floor. Then one shared one on 2nd floor. Our wants. One of those showers that are “open”. No curtain, no glass. They are just big (deep)...

Does this make sense? My raw well water is crystal clear. It has 7.7 ppm Iron (but I think that varies a lot with well use) If we let the well sit (it's a vacation home) I will measure like 0.3 PPM if we take showers and do a wash it might hit 5 PPM. If I add a 1 Micron Sediment filter it...

New to forum and it looks like I’ve come to the right place. Back ground. I’m on a lake. Had a system that was installed before we bought in 2003. Had a pre iron filter that backwashed. And a softener (installed around year 2000). Water was great. But brine was killing trees near house. And I...
