Mine seems to be dying. Can you get a cheap one without spending an arm and a leg?
Great.... my wife just told me today that the water feels 'funny'... that I should check out the water softener...
Now I read there is more than just that dang salt in the big bin...
OK... someone who KNOWS something... is there a site that tells what to do I am going to look at the links provided already, so maybe it is there...
How often do you need to 'fill' the dang thing with... whatever
WATER SOFTENER
FIRST APPLICATION 1 cup (250 mL)
REGULAR USE 1/4 cup (62 mL)
All softeners on iron bearing water require Super Iron Out as preventative maintenance and to eliminate iron buildup. FIRST APPLICATION 1. Dissolve 1 cup in 1/2 gal. cold water. 2. Pour directly into brine well (for softeners with no brine well, pour directly into salt tank when salt level is low). 3. Manually regenerate softener. Repeat for heavily fouled unit. REGULAR USE Add 1/4 cup per 40 lbs. of salt. 2. Layer for continuous treatment. CABINET MODELS USE FOR PERIODIC CLEANING ONLY. Follow FIRST APPLICATION instructions above. Repeat regularly.
Thanks, keep meaning to research if the resin wears out, but always forget. Saw your posting and though I'd ask ;-)
Mine is demand based, which is pretty cool. I just clean the venturis once a year and it seems to be doing a fine job.
