Hello all,
I live in Central Texas and have really hard water (105 GPG) and about 2 Iron.
The softener company installed a 36" diameter brine tank, a tank that handles the iron (charcoal media I believe regen every 5 days) and a 16" by 65" softener tank I believe its a 4 cuft tank with 3.5 cuft of chargen c-800 media. Both tanks use the WS1 control valve.
I have noticed when water dries on a surface white powdery spots, that doesn't taste like salt.
The other issue is the brine tank is not filling enough after a regen. During the last regen I measured the water level before the regen, then added about 12 gallons or so to get it about where it was before.
Reason I added water is because company recommended it due to a previous regen cycle that did not soften the water. BTW the softener softens the water to 1-2 GPG after a regen.
The Clack WS1 is currently set as follows: Hardness = 105; Regen Day = 11; BW 1 = 8 min, 2 Dn Brine 60 min, 3 BW = 8 min, 4 rinse = 8 min, 5 fill = 9.5 lbs, cap - 90,000, regen = auto, regen = normal
Is it possible to configure the valve to regen the number of days has reached or number of softened water remaining (with configured percentage remaining)?
Cheers
