Mechanical water softener

Hi,

There was an expert on here a while back that recommended a particular mechanical water softener (all valving mechanically controlled).

I forgot to bookmark the manuafcturer.

Anyone know which one this ws?

Thanks

Well, I don't know for sure...but try searching Fleck, Clack and Kinetco? I think the valves (Fleck and Clack) are used by different companies, and Kinetco makes systems....

At least you'll stay busy til one of the Pro's checks in...lol

Thanks,

I think all of those are good brands.

One issue I did not consider is the drain line. I would put the unit next to my water heater in the garage but there is no drain in my garage. The laundry room is 5' away on the other side of the garage wall but it's inside the house so the drain would have to be run through the wall. Once through the wall it would be visible but only for 2' or so to reach the wall behind the washer.

Is there an accepted, professional way of doing this?

Thanks

Given what you have said, yes, it is OK to drain it hat way.

kinetico constantly regenerating

We have a kinetico model 60. It recently has started to regenerate constantly, at least the water drains constantly and have noticed a white powder residue left after the tub has drained. Any idea what this may be? Thanks

Culligan RO Tank Replacement

NeedsWater on Dec 07, 2008

Hi, New to the forum, but searched for this topic and didn't find it yet, hopefully someone can help. I had to replace the 3 gallon tank for my Culligan RO undersink water filtration system. The bladder got a leak I believe because the water was not getting pressure. So I replace it, hooked it up, but just wondering if I need to do anything special with it. The guy at the Culligan store said the air pressure is in the tank already, that I wouldn't need to put air in it. So after it is hooked up and the valve to let water in is on, anything else? Thanks for the help! NeedsWater in CA :)
