Using water softener recommendations in this forum, I am evaluating a Fleck 5600 SXT or 5800 SXT 48,000 grain with 10% crosslinked resin.
I have city water and our daily water usage averages 270 gallons (we have a electronic water meter that provides this information). Hardness level is 16 gpg.
Can anyone recommend a good internet source or distributor in the St. Louis, MO area for a decent system? Also was thinking of a carbon filter system since the chlorine smell is so bad after our village's change to a new water system "Illinois American Water". I have a retired plumber that is willing to do the install for me.
The water softener industry is very confusing to me. Based on my hardness and usage I figure 1.5 cu feet of resin is necessary which is where I calculate the 48k grain.
