Came here for review of aquasure softener. If you have an oring seal do not use Teflon tape. The tape could prevent the oring from making contact and sealing.

@pianomanamz

8 ай бұрын

Not saying you're wrong because I honestly don't know the correct way but the instructions do say to apply 5-6 wraps of teflon tape around the threads of the plastic nipples going into the pre filter housing. Those have O rings on them so not too sure what to do. Use tape or not?

@MrBeeHS

8 ай бұрын

@pianomanamz yes you still do need to put Teflon tape around the thread. Even though the pipe has O-ring on it. It's the best way to get a better seal on the threads so you won't have leaks. It'll be a very hard task to remove the pipes if those pipes are leaking when turning on the water. I hope this helps. Please let me know your progress after your installation. 🙏

You're welcome, my friend. Usually, no if you use the same size piping.

@tommy01234567891011

3 ай бұрын

Be aware; the inner diameter of 3/4" PEX B fittings are smaller than the inner diameter of 3/4" copper tubing. If you already have 3/4" copper throughout your house and want to avoid flow reduction, then you should use either 3/4" copper, 3/4" CPVC, 1" PEX B, or 3/4" PEX A (PEX A is expanded over the fittings so the inner diameter is not reduced like PEX B). If you choose to go with PEX B, it is best to use the brass fittings instead of the plastic ones, as the plastic fittings are thicker than the brass, so they have a smaller inner diameter and will restrict flow slightly more than the brass fittings. However, if you are hooking directly to your main water line and it is 1" copper, then your best bet to maximize flow and pressure downstream of your system would be to install the entire system using 1" copper, 1" PEX A, or 1" CPVC. I realize this is a lot of information, but I hope it helps!

why is the drain water going outside and not to a plumbing drain? Does the dirty/salt water kill the grass?

@MrBeeHS

There is no plumbing drain in my garage so I drain it outside towards the area where I installed French Drain. Yes, the dirty salt water will kill the grass. In my situation, the grass never grow on the side of my house where I drain the water (mostly are dirt and weeds) and that is the reason. If you do have access to the drain near where you install the water softener, I would recommend to drain it there. 😊

Just found out a new house I am interested in gets water from a Well. Would this system help to ensure that there' clean water? My kids have sensitive skin.

Yes definitely! But it's a good idea for you to install an extra water filtration system for the well water to get filtered before the water softener system. To ensure the water softener system to work properly and efficiently and prolongs its life. Well water has high minerals and it's not safe to drink unless filtered.

​@@MrBeeHS to my understanding, minerals in the water is good for your health... extreme hardness is not good... to much of anything is not good.. bottled water has hardness added after filtration... city/town water has hardness added after filtration... what are your thoughts? p.s .... copper pipes are anti microbial, plastic is not...

@MrBeeHS

10 ай бұрын

@blitzkrieg.u812 yes you are correct 💯. Minerals in water are good for your health....up to a certain limit. Too much minerals will cause harm to your body like causing kidney stones in your body. Yes bottled water has hardness added to it as well and also to help with the taste. It also depends on where you live as well. Some cities or states have extreme hardness than others. Especially in my area...Dallas, TX. Hardness is very high in my area. So installing water softener helps a lot for my water inside my home. I also have an 11 stage Reverse Osmosis water purifier as well for drinking and cooking. Since my house is still new, they are all using PEX pipes vs copper pipes to save on the cost. Bottom line, I still wouldn't drink water straight out of the faucet unless it's purified and reducing hardness in water will help your household appliances run better and last longer and better healthier life.😃👍

You mean the upper distribution basket? The small gray basket? It's a little tricky on it. When you turn it counter clockwise, it should lock in place and it shouldn't come off when you wiggle it.

AquaSure's own website shows your regen should be set to 2,750 Gallons (City). By keeping the controller at 1000, you are flushing far too often and reducing your softener's efficiency.
