salt flushing frequency?
« on: November 17, 2010, 12:07:37 am »
hi guys

how frequent or to how many litres do you flush your salt chamber which rinses the water softner?

for those of you who have a water softner as well that is... :)

depending on water tds i all depends. for example if you have a tds of around 330-350 you should be doing a salt wash at least every 1000ltrs of water made with a 6.9ltr softner vessel.
hope this helps.

it will increase the chances of the membrane to foul, also increase running costs, due to the membranes not performing as good therfor using more resin
