I have the sanitizer series with chlorine generator and zeolite resin put in in 2008. waters not real soft anymore. Thinking about replacing the resin myself. Suggested cost of people to do it that are now Culligan and were water pro when I bought it said 500 bucks just to replace the resin with regular resin and install a resin cleaner drip in salt tank because of the iron bacteria which we have. When I called him today and got the quote of 500 just for resin, he also asked how's the piston. Far as I know the piston is still working. Should I even attempt this? seems people are doing it on YouTube now. Id rather not spend 3000 bucks on another gimmick softener like the 1st one that lasted a dam year with tons of iron bacteria in it(wasn't the right system for me I guess).
I would imagine have the water tested by the softener place and go from there, but dunno what kind of resin to get or where other than ebay. AT the time of softener install, on the cover they wrote iron was 4.0 and ph was 7.2 and hardness was 32. sulphur was .3. tds was 1170. Zeolite doesn't last as long as regular resin?
Not sure if this resin cleaners expensive, pain in the butt or just plain is regular resin the way to go. Looking for guidance on what do to. Figured since my cycle stop valve is working like magic from advice I've got from this site, and so far I really like it, thought Id come over here for some insight.
