Well Filter

I had low water pressure so I pulled the head off of my tank and it was clogged. I have seen the well guy do this before so it was not a problem. What I need to know is what kind of substance goes in the tank. I do not think this is the filter tank. I have two tanks. The one I am talking about has a timer on it that backwashes the system. The guy always flushes and changes the substance. It looks like coffee grinds. I called a hardware that I purchased a new pump from but they did not know. One guy said it may be salt. Thanks for the help.

It sounds like carbon. If you have a backwashing valve, you may want to set it to backwash more often. This will keep it from clogging up as fast.

I converted my system from Potassium to Salt and with the salt plate installed the water does not even cover the top of the plate. This just does not seem like there is enough water in the tank. Should I add additional water or adjust the float?

I have been researching the Kinetico K-5 drinking water station online for quite some time. I noticed that it is very difficult to find pricing of the system so I called my local dealer. I was quoted a price of $1595 for the K-5 Drinking Water Station, or $6750 if I do the Kinetico 4040 whole house system with the K-5 included. Does anybody know if this pricing seems reasonable? Is pricing negotiable on these units with a dealer? Just curious to see what others have paid, or if you happen to know what the actual dealer cost is. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
