Water Softener; Technetic question
I had a Technetic 1000 water softener installed in my house in 1994. All I
have had to do is feed it salt for the last 10 years. I am on a private well, the unit is programmed for a hardness setting of 18 and 3.4 lbs of salt per regeneration, I do have a little iron in the water. I use the green bag of morton salt pellets. The unit seems to be working fine up to now, although I occaisionally I have had some iron come thru the system. My questions; Is there any periodic maintenance I should have been doing? Is there any iron treatment I could put in with the salt to help clean up any iron or other junk in the resin bed? My brother recently gave me a 50lb box of resin beads he had purchased for a Sears softener but never used. Should I consider changing out the resin after all these years of service (we are a family of 6 and use about 400 gallons of water a day.) |
