Ok, so I have super hard water at my house (95gpg) and I have a water softener feeding a whole house RO system (150G tank with a separate pump to feed domestic water). The whole setup is about 4 years old, just before I purchased the house.
Last fall, I replaced the resin because I thought it was cooked because it wasn't softening correctly. Worked nice for a bit, but now it's not softening again. It's using salt, I cleaned the control head out, and it seems to be working properly. I didn't taste any salt in the discharge during the brine draw cycle, etc - but it's still not softening as well as it should (it's coming out at 800+ppm).
Should I replace the spacer stack? What about the piston? I pulled it all apart and it appears to be in good condition, however the orings felt a bit hard.
At a bit of a loss as to what I should do next...
Thx
