Hi all,
I've replaced an ancient Culligan Premier (circa 1998) with a Fleck 2510 STX. I've got the new unit installed, but have not fired it up yet. The master settings are a bit daunting.
I think I've figured most of it out but would like a double check before I start it up. Here's a summary of my set up. Hopefully this is relevant and complete enough:
It's a large house. We've got 4 adults living here. But several times a year (when it's not a pandemic) we boost up to 8-ish people with guests.
Here's what I've currently specified for the master settings:
Also, I'm a bit unclear as to the start up procedure. I think what I'm supposed to do is something like this:

I think I've figured most of it out but would like a double check before I start it up. Here's a summary of my set up. Hopefully this is relevant and complete enough:
- Fleck 2510 SXT with 1" connections
- 2.5 sf resin
- Resin tank size about 12" by 54"
- 25 GPM | 88,000 Grains (as per the company I bought the kit from)
- BLFC 1 gallon per minute (3 lbs)

Here's what I've currently specified for the master settings:
- DF: Gal
- VT: dF1b
- CT: Fd
- NT: 1
- C: 88
- H: 25
- RS: SF
- SF: 15
- DO: 14
- RT: 2:00
- BW 10
- BD: 60
- RR: 10
- BF: 19
- FM t0.7
Also, I'm a bit unclear as to the start up procedure. I think what I'm supposed to do is something like this:
- Press and hold the cycle button until I see "BW -- -- --" to allow air to escape.
- Move the bypass valve to the "B" letter in "Bypass" to let water slowly fill.
- Turn the valve to "Service" when the tank is full, but with a black fiberglass tank I'm not sure how to tell. Maybe I'll see some backwash (that tube is clear).
