Fleck 7000 SXT settings

[EE_Water]

I like to get an opinion if my water softener settings are correct. The injector color is violet.

System info (not programmed)
salt lb/cuft: 8 ;
BLFC: 0.125 ; Brine Refill rate GPM
cubic ft resin: 1.5 ; ft3 resin
Raw Hardness: 18 compensated (well water)
Estimated gal/day: 240 gallons
Estimated days each regeneration: 6.7

Fleck 7000SXT Settings:
DF = Gal - units
VT = dF2b - DownFlow, double backwash
CT = Fd - Meter Delayed regen trigger
C = 36 - capacity in 1000 grains
H = 18 hardness grains after compensation
RS = SF - Safety Factor
SF = 20 - percentage of reserve
DO = 14 - maximum days override
RT = 2:00 - Regeneration Time (default 2 AM)
B1 = 8 min - Backwash 1 (minutes)
BD = 120 min - Brine Draw (minutes)
B2 = 5 min - Backwash 2 (minutes)
RR = 10 min - Rapid Rinse (minutes)
BF = 32 min - Brine Fill (minutes)
FM = t1.2 - Flowmeter type

I expect to make some changes in the recommendation. What injector number or color do you have?

The injector color is violet which matches the 00 sticker on the unit.

Cool. I hope you are right and it is not blue. A #00 Injector - Violet should draw the brine in about 27 minutes, vs about 9 minutes for blue.
