  Water softeners

Hardwood,
AC5ZO gave me some excellent advice in the past on water softening. Per his advice, I installed my own GE high efficiency water softener, and the last time I checked my hardness, I believe it was about "19" (not sure what the scale means). I add a couple hundred pounds of salt maybe every 6 months or so, and I have 4 children...so you can imagine how much water we go through. I've been very happy with this softener so far. I'm not sure how much water it uses for regeneration, and with the well problems I've had lately, I guess I need to look into this as well.

Any ideas out there why I am experiencing a significant drop in water pressure coming out of my GE water softener?

Dennis,
Yes, it has an auto regeneration cycle, normally at 2AM. I called GE, and they said the "outlet" in the resin tank may have become clogged, but they had not suggestion how to service it other than to have a GE serviceman out...fairly costly where I live.

Oh, and still not getting email notification of replies??

Sean
