ok...first...thank you to all who helped me set my numbers! thank you!
I've been reading a lot of post on here and learned a number of things i didn't know and has shed some light on the whole process.
However, I still don't quite understand why setting my softener to 36 instead of 48 as that is the size.
So how does that make it more efficient. I get that it needs less salt when it regenerates, but doesn't it just regenerate less? When I had it set at 48....the gallons that it showed before next regeneration was somewhere around 4200 gallons. Right now after i regenerated, it was 2700.
Also, I read the argument of "balancing salt usage vs water quality". I thought there is only so much salt that water will absorb. So why wouldn't you just get the numbers right for 48k?
Asked differently, what if i want more water quality...is that even a "thing"? If maximum water quality was my priority and didn't care to much about efficiency, what would that get me as far as water quality.
thank you again for the help.
I"m looking forward to see if someone can dumb it down for me! ;-)
