softener

Hello, I would like to ask for softener characteristics - Indion 225 NaF. I have searched for some other document, not that published by producer. I would like to know other research datas to compare. Our advisor said we should check it. We are going to produce ultrapure water in process, so I...

Just purchased a Spring Well H20 salt based softener and combo whole house filter (CSS4) system. This isn't my first install but I do want to move things around. The house is is over 33 years old and but came pre-plumbed for a softener. The problem is it's located in the middle of the back wall...

I’ve been fighting with a Fleck 5600SXT that’s introducing air to my plumbing each time it regenerates. This obviously makes horrible noise in the morning when people first open most faucets or flush toilets. I’ve replaced the air check valve and float assembly (twice actually, most recently...

I will be replacing a 12 year old softener and iron filter and I would like to know people's opinions on: 1) The most reliable control head / valve 2) The easiest to maintain I know that these may be different, but I'm hoping I can there's something out there which is very reliable and easy to...

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...

I have a heated outbuilding/workshop where I am planning to install a water treatment system for my drilled well. The slab on grade outbuilding has a floor drain, intended for water softener backwash. The floor drain empties 4' underground about 20' away from the building. There is no drain...

I have a Culligan Medallist Series water softener at our lake house. It has been unused in the garage for several years due to an issue we have been dealing with of low yielding well. We had to get a new well drilled, and I moved my pressure tank and water softener to a whole new location with...

Hi guys, I'm having problems with my well pump. The pressure is very high! The pressure gauge goes up to 100 and the needle is all the way up. At first I tried to clean the contacts on the pressure switch but was still having problems, so last night I bought a new pressure switch (40-60psi, same...

Assembling my system after a long delay in getting the Vortech tanks. One little mystery, though. There's this one item, which looks like a strainer, yet isn't. What is it, please? And where ought it go? I suspect is to do with the KIO system. Yet there is no place obvious where it might seem to...

I'm on well water with 24 GPG hardness + 2 GPG for .5PPM iron. We're a family of 5 averaging 400 gallons per day. Correct me if I'm wrong, but my math is coming out to roughly 73,000 grains. 26 GPG x 400 = 10,400 x 7 = 72,800 GPG. At 65% efficiency I would need a 112,000 GPG unit. I was...

Hello Everyone, With the help of this forum and the immense knowledge gained, I was able to buy a water softener and install it myself! I am getting cloudy water 4/10 times I fill a glass of water. I assume this is still safe to drink as its just salt leaking into the water. I am trying to...

Hello! I've been scouring this site and google for days for what I'm guessing is a ridiculously simple solution to my problem. In the photo you can see that the discharge valve on my softener has a threaded 5/8" male connector, to which 5/8" copper piping is connected using a brass compression...

Hello, We purchased a 1966 built condo recently and got a Culligan softener and RO system installed due to the extremely hard water in Morristown NJ. After the installation we had an issue where a toilet flush or running dishwasher or running washing machine caused loud vibrations in the...

I couldn't get an auger into the hole at the bottom, making me question if it's a drain at all. We have the AC condensate draining into it, and the new softener (which hit the waste cycle and flooded the room) Do I need a plumber (2 have already said they can't do it) or a contractor? How to...
