    Water Softener Problem

    I assume you mean a twin tank alternating softener, right? So you've put Tank 1 through a manual regen and each phase of the regen is working properly? Have you done any maintenance on the softener valve? What valve(s) do you have?

    Cost of upgrading to a larger water line

    Out of a 1.5" pipe at typical pressures I'd expect 40 to 70 gpm. 65 to 120 gpm from a 2" 80 to 170 gpm from a 2.5" A quick and dirty calculation for flow from a pipe is diameter squared times 20, so for a 2" pipe: 2*2*20=80 gpm Russ

    Calculating Water Usage and Energy Consumption

    Depending on the valve you have on your softener, remember that may also be a tool you can use to log water use.

    Asphalt shingle roof cleaning

    I've also had good luck with wet and forget. In this application it was algae growing on vinyl siding on the north side of the house. Been several years since I sprayed it and the algae has never come back.

    No... but the government dolts were obviously having trouble managing the data they already have. They just couldn't connect the dots. We did that for them.

    Just finished it. Not onerous, but still distasteful as hell. Come on, January.

    Yeow. Home Depot and Lowes have salt for $6/bag by me. Tractor Supply is a bit cheaper.

    Water Softener

    That's just the way the manufacturer (Structural/Pentair in this case) makes many of their largest tanks. In some cases it facilitates plumbing connected to the bottom of the tank.

    Water Softener

    This recent industrial customer had very hard water, high flows, a high volume demand, and needed soft water without interruption. A twin tank alternating softener with 2" Clack valves was the solution. With 30 cuft of resin, each tank has a capacity of 900,000 grains at 15-lbs salting. The...

    Water Softener

    The primary advantage of a twin alternating configuration is that you get uninterrupted soft water 24/7/365. With a single tank soft water will be unavailable for about 1.5 hrs each time it regenerates. This can work well in situations where there is typically downtime in the middle of the...

You'll get much better life from your RO membranes with soft water, and you can reduce your concentrate...

    need to know about water softener

    You'll add salt probably once a day to once a week, depending upon your water hardness and the amount of water you run through it, and the size of the softener. All softeners use salt.

    need to know about water softener

    We size water softeners for car washes based upon a number of factors specific to your site. If you contact us to buy a softener we'd begin the conversation with these sorts of questions: What is the diameter of the pipe that will be connected to the softener? Do you have a specific gpm...
