softener settings

[AlaskanWolf2]

I need some help, got my water tested at the local Sears

Iron: 2 ppm
PH Level: 7 (neatrual)
Hardness: 7 gpg

What is the ideal setting to set on the water softner system? (IE: ?? grains)

It shows on average 90 to 100 gals a day

That depends on how nuch water is being used adn how much of wha ttype of resin is in the softener.

umm the display says 100 gals a day

type is the yellow bag type of pellets (if thats what your referring to)

Going off the owners manual, i came up with a number of ?17 grains?

Compensated hardness would be (4*2) + 7 = 17 gpg. To set your salt dose you need to know how much resin is in the resin tank and what type it is.
