So I have a fleck 5000 proflow sxt, 80k grain capacity, 2.5 cu ft Purolite SST60 resin (approx 8 yrs old). With a Fe filter before the softener, fleck 5810 stx with 1.5 cu ft of KL (approx 5 yrs old)
Couple issues I've been having are as follows;. Softener not metering water flow. Think I narrowed it down to the cable. Removed the turbine and it moved freely. So will order the replacement cable, 19791-01, and replace it.
Next would be the softener has been overfilling the brine tank. I replaced the brine tube from softener to tank and the ferrules and it has good suction.
How long does resin last? My hardness is about 30 gpg and 3 ppm of clear iron (if I recall from last testing, I need to get it tested again)
Regarding my Fe filter, how long does KL last? How often should you regenerate that filter? Seems like I still get some iron in my water.
I'll try and get water tested tomorrow and all my softener settings as well.
If I replace my softener resin, do I have to replace it with the same amount?
Also. Is KL still a better option over Birm?
