As to a request to start a new thread on a device used for laundry that uses no hot water or detergents, I thought I would share what seems to work very well. So much so that I have since purchased another one. LaundryPure uses ozone and silver ions to clean and sanitize laundry without the use of detergents or hot water. There are two UV bulbs that ozonate the water and a device the emits silver ions for additional sanitation. Both of these will eventually need to be replaced. You must have soft, iron-free water. Ozone works best in cold water so the colder the better. Just completely shut off your hot water. This saves immediately in energy costs. Use NO detergents, soaps or cleansers! Additional savings, for some, big time. A small amount of bleach for whites is OK. Tough stains may need to soak before washing. Ozone easily penetrates fabrics and spreads them and releases dirt and oils from fabrics. It stays in the water about 20 minutes and then reverts to oxygen. Not a bad by-product! Clothes come out smelling fresh even before going to the drier. Used with soft water and no soaps, even line drying can show improvement. The tray still has some lint in it. I never mix whites and colors even if it says it's OK. The machine is extremely easy to install. I have not had to service it yet (only about 4 months old) but should be easy enough. It turns on and off with the washer. So in 4 months, not an ounce of detergents, no hot water, no chemicals in the septic and clothes are clean and fresh. Go figure. I am looking for my third one as my sister wants one now. It works! [url]http://youtube.com/watch?v=VR0Jpa42nO8[/url] Andy Christensen, CWS-II

I just bought a Fleck 7000 48k and had it installed today. The plumber only did the plumbing part, and I did all the assembling work, programming, and testing. Anyways, UPS screwed up and now I fear that I may not have enough resin in the tank. The shipment included 1.5 cubic feet of resin in two different boxes. The 1.0 cf one was leaking upon arrival, and the 0.5 cf box only arrived AFTER the installation and testing. As a result, there is only about .85 ct (my estimate) of resin in the tank, and that even include the 'clean' portion I rescued from the garage floor. Now here are my questions: 1) Is there enough resin in the tank? 2) If not, how much more should I add? 3) Can I choose to program the system down to like 32k grains if the resin is not enough and I don't want to unscrew the valve? Many thanks from a newbie!
