Disconnected the old Rain Soft carbon filter tank and resin tank. I can
use the salt container as a water container.

The carbon filter is done. I'm sure it can be replaced

The resin tank is reusable too.

Typical avg fiber glass tanks. And the heads for both tanks. Power
supply. The brass plumbing leaked which is why I decommissioned it.

Is there any interest in this stuff? Is it junk day time?


JUNK!! Going going gone!

I turned them upside down and carbon media came out of one and a pale
pale brown media came out of the other. neither would drain completely
w/o making a huge mess. There is a youtube of a guy pounding one with a
sledge hammer. seems pointless.


Any carbon or resin media you spilled can be washed into the lawn
turf. No problem.

The resin being "pale" is from long term use. Some media last 10
years and others last 15 years. Cheap to replace :-)
