Not sure about third party cuz I've never had to look for them. I was supplied them through my company. I wouldn't spend much money on them due to the few times you'll ever need them. Granted, they...

If you're getting flow then I doubt the subassembly is bad. When I've seen issues with them there has been no flow off the membrane due tot eh swelling issue of the subassembly. I'd check the tank...

That's a tough one with the iron situation. If I were designing a system for it I would more than likely try some sort of backwashing filter with birm or a similar media, followed by an acid...

What are the other test results? Hardness? TDS? PH? Bacteria? Nitrates? All of those play into any decision making.

PH of 7 is what you want. 0 hardness is soft. A whole house RO would be overkill as you generally don't need low TDS water to shower/wash clothes and dishes in unless you have some medical reason to...

The phosphates are really all you need to try for now to treat the pipes. If the PH is 7 then it's ok and the problem isn't there. You could have a bad Langlier index which is a complicated thing to...

You're looking for a 90% or better reduction, so you need to know the house water TDS to compare. 0-50 being "good" is a bit misleading. If your raw TDS is 100 and you're reading 40 then the unit...

the Kinetico is a vastly superior model. At 13 years of age $1000 is steep for anything....let alone a softener. I'd offer him the $500. I think he's planning on the haggling on the price. Do...

To affirm what Andy said, a softener introduces very little salt into your system. It will introduce a minute amount based on your hardness and setup of the softener but it's really very...

I just noticed that I misread that the first time. I thought you said it doesn't go in or out during the cycle. My bad there. Salt bridge sounds pretty likely as Andy already said. Check your...

You may have a clogged brine intake. Is there iron in your water? Filter ahead of the softener? Pretreatment of any kind before the softener? Plumbed in correctly as far as inlet and outlet go?

I second Andys statement. Sounds like a bad bladder. Get a new RO tank, sanitize it and you're up and running again. Check the PSI. Generally, around 8PSI will do the trick...but check when it's...

I'm thinking a reverse osmosis system is in your future.

Change the filter once a month or so with a 30 micron meltblown filter cartridge. Add salt when you can see water in the salt tank. Check the clock after power outages to make sure it's set to the...

What else is on the system? Is it residential or commercial? Who tests for Kh unless they need to for some reason?

Firstly, I'd recommend to get your water tested so you know what you're dealing with. You can't treat water without knowing what you're treating. When you get results post them and we can evaluate...

I would look into a dechlorination unit...a big tank for of carbon that will remove the chlorine for the whole house. Follow it with a 5 micron standard 10" sediment filter and you're golden.

I guess it depends where you buy them and what type they are. The ones I carry are the same across the micron ratings for a meltblown filter. I should back up and say that some of those types of...

What kind of tub is it? I know some hot tubs require a higher flow rate to fill than the standard ones do due to the type of spout they use. Try a 5 micron filter or even a one micron and see if it...

Note that it says "at least" every 3 months. There is no rule of thumb when it comes to filter lives. It all depends on water quality coming to them (there is much more in the water that you can't...

Nope. The only time it would have been an issue was the first time it cycled after you manually filled it with water. If you had put too little water in it may have affected it until it cycled the...

Should be fine. Depending on the salt setting this may be normal. Let me ask you this....is the water soft coming out and consistently so?

If you want to properly treat it, install a dechlorinator to remove the chlorine from the whole house and follow it with a filter and then a softener. If you're concerned with sodium in the water (a...

If you manually cycle it you should test soft on the cold water coming through it immediately after it finishes cycling.

On that type of unit you will probably see 1/3 to 1/2 the tank full of water. Do you have iron in the water and do you have a filter ahead of the softener? They're unrelated to the air issue...just a...
