Hi,
Our condo association has a Fleck 9500 twin tank water softener that
is being used in the water supply for our eleven condo units. �It has
1.5" input and output connections. � Recently, I began to wonder how
much water we use in a given month. �Since the water is supplied by 2
water wells on the property, there is no water meter to read. However,
the Fleck has a meter that controls when it is time to recharge. �The
meter has no face but instead turns a cable that turns the gears
inside the softener control. �I added a magnet to the meter shaft and
a small reed switch nearby such that I can remotely tell when the
meter output shaft has completed one full revolution. �My question is
how many gallons does one full revolution equal? �The manual says
nothing about that. �I have searched on the internet, but haven't
found an answer. �If I watch the dial inside the softener cover, it
seems to move around 1600 gallons per revolution. �I did some more
googling and found some Fleck equipment specs mention 1550 as a
minimum number of gallons between recharging for some of their
softeners. �Could that be the number of gallons coresponding to one
revolution of the meter? �Can any of you familiar with these things
confirm that?

Thanks,
Pat

Use enough water to get shaft to revolve once?
