I successfully rebedded my Rainsoft AN the other day and am now ready to move onto the softner, just want to do a little maintenance I have no clue of the age of resin. I was planning on undoing head to inspect the resin prior to purchase of new material. Not sure if there is a gravel bed. Information on these units are hard to come by and dealer is hush hush. I was able to access the dealers settings on the head and there are three types of resin in which can be programmed; ion-x 2000 v resin, ion-x 100 t resin, and ion-x 34 d resin. I'm unsure of what changes it makes to the routines with these in place. Seems as if other heads are not as complicated.
Raw hardness is 2gpg
treated is 1gpg
Raw ph 5.6
treated is 7
Size of my unit is (7x32) resin is only 15in high with flashlight.
Current settings:
50 - .5 cu ft resin
34 - oin-x 34 D resin
5 - minute backwash
51 - minute brine/rinse
5 - minute fast rinse
4 day regen
2lb salt setting @ 8,900 gpg according to resin sheet in the owners manual, which of course I had to deep dive the web to find.
Where can I exactly find this type of resin or is it just brand specific?
I was looking into;
liqua gen lg-iec-10 @91.99
Tier1 ier 100 @109.50
Any suggestions?
We use about 164 gallon a day from my guess. 2 adults and a toddler. Seems as if regen is not necessary at 4 day span, if we are only using 700 gallons in that period if that refen cycle is good for 8,900 gpg. Unless there is something that I am grossly misunderstanding.
As a side note on my Rainsoft 10x42 AN head I was able to scroll through settings on that and came across;
1.) F8 or IL ?
2.) 7 backwash?
3.) 2 rinse?
Regen is every 3 days
Anyone suggest an inline water meter to purchase or is that just crazy?
