Between 2 systems but want to make sure I'm barking up the right tree here. I don't want to replace this thing for another 20 years if possible.
Family of 4 with 26-28gpg (Thanks Minnesota) water depending on what aquifer the city is pulling from. 270 gallons per day right now, but my daughter is young so want to figure for 300 gpd for when she gets older. Extra overhead is nice since we have company over fairly often as well. 3/4 line into the current softener. Pressure from the main is about 50-60 lbs.
I figured for a 2.5 cuft of resin using 6-8lbs per cuft to regen about once a week(ish).
Both local companies I talked to told me they'd usually only do a 2.5 cuft system for commercial use and I'm nutty for even asking.
Anyways:
Clack WS1 On-Demand Water Softener
•13x54”(U.S.) Resin Tank
•2.5Ft.3 10% CL Aldex
•FB Control
•Upflow Brining
•1” full port bypass
•18x40” brine tankwith safety float
•5-year warranty on the valve, 10 years on tanks, 1 year on labor
FINAL PRICE INSTALLED: $ 2,195.00
Fleck 5800XTR2
•13x54”(U.S.) Resin Tank
•2.5Ft.3 10% CL Aldex
•Touchscreen XTR2 Control
•Upflow Brining
•Stainless Steel Bypass
•18x40” brine tankwith safety float
•5-year warranty on the valve, 10 years on tanks, 1 year on labor
FINAL PRICE INSTALLED: $ 2,395.00
Seems weird the Fleck is more expensive than the Clack from what I've read here.
What type of injector and BLFC should I be requesting for a system like this? Anything specific I missed?
I'd like to do this once and do it right.
Should I scrap the larger tank all together and look at a dual tank system instead?
Thanks a ton for your help!
