I picked up a kenitico model 100 twin tank system the other day that was refurbished last year. I have it all installed but i am uncertain as to how high the water level in my brine tank should be above the grid. This system shows a disc seven through the site glass. My water hardness is 82 and iron is 3 from the bits and pieces of information i can get off the internet a disc seven should work good with my water condition. My brine tank is 18 x 35 I read on one site something about salt settings and float settings i see the marks on the float rod but do not see anything about salt setting (P or R) which i read on one site. Also this sytem has been unhooked for about three months with water stil in the tanks do I need to do anything special or just do a manual regeneration on each of the tanks or multiple regenerations. How long do i need to let the brine tank sit with the salt before each regeneration. One other question can you make the water to soft and does anyone know a web site that has manuals for this system looking for installation, owners, repair manuals.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks a bunch

Your water is very challenging. Depending on the age and condition of the resins, a disk seven may work, but you could advance it to a disk 8 (max) if need be later. But you are near the maximum setting for that condition of water. I would have recommended a K-175 but you got yours second hand.

The water should rise about an inch or two above the grid plate.

If it sat for a few months then it won't be hurt. Just put it trhough a couple of regenerations with an iron-out cleanser. Let the salt sit for about an hour or more before putting it forth into another reg. Look at the lens on top of the valve, is it clear? Did you put a prefilter on it?

It had a sticker on the tank that it was reloaded with resin and the head rebuilt in mar of 08 Plus i picked it up for 300.00
So do I add the iron-out into the brine tank water? with or with out salt in it? Yes i have a pre filter on the system. The top of the lens is clear.

Sounds great all-round. When adding iron-out (powder) I would take it outside and with a gallon of water in a bucket, add about two heaping tablespoons carefully into the water and let it dissolve. Then pour the water into the brine drum before adding salt. If salt is already in it, then over the salt won't hurt anything, eventually it will get into the regen stage.
