First off, I know this is not the best way to accomplish this but its what the client wants.
Im having a tough time wrapping my head around this due to all the water storage tanks.
There will be 6 units with 2.5 baths each.
2 people per unit.
Each unit will have a 680 gallon cistern in the ground and a 265 gallon tank on the roof
The water source will be a well testing at 44gpg hardness.
The water will be processed through a sediment tank, carbon tank, and softener.
This processed water will be stored in a 2,650 gallon cistern in the ground and then fed to each units cistern and roof top tanks.
Thats a total of 8,320 gallons of stored water for 12 people.
At 60 gallons per day thats 11.5 days per unit when the tanks are full.
How would I size the softener?
Since the water is not being used on demand and has all the storage tanks, it would seem to me a smaller softener would work.
