Valve: 5810SXT
Resin tank: 12x48
Resin: 2 cuft 10% crosslinked (CR10)

Please let me know if any additional info is needed, thank you in advance!

This uses the automatic reserve adapting. If you want a fixed 140 gallon reserve instead, let me know.
Glad to see you have the #1 white injector.

System info (not programmed)
salt lb/cuft : 7.5 ; A choice ( efficiency vs capacity)
BLFC : 0.25 ; Brine Refill rate GPM
cubic ft resin : 2 ; Same as (nominal grains/32,000)
Raw hardness : 14 ; including iron etc
Estimated gal/day ; 170 ; 60 gal per person prediction (auto-tunes)
Est days/regen ; 18.07 ; presuming days each use estimated

Fleck 5810SXT Settings:
DF = Gal ; Units
VT = 5810 ; Valve type
RF = dF2b ; Downflow, Double Backwash
CT = Fd ; Meter Delayed regen trigger
C = 46.1 ; capacity in 1000 grains
H = 15 ; Hardness grains after comp factor
RS = cr ; Cr = base reserve on recent experience
DO = 30 ; Day Override (typ 30 if no iron/Mn)
RT = 2:00 ; Regen time (default 2 AM)
B1 = 5 ; Backwash 1 (minutes) [3...10]
Bd = 60 ; Brine draw minutes
B2 = 4 ; Backwash 2 (minutes)[3...10]
RR = 6 ; Rapid Rinse minutes
BF = 20 ; Brine fill minutes
FM = t1.2 (usual) ; t1.2 is default flow meter
RE = OFF ; Relay
VR = OFF ; ?
