Fleck 5800 SXT - C-UNIT CAPACITY Determination; BF-BRINE FILL Value

PAGE 5Help: 888-426-5001 QualityWaterForLess.com
5) C - UNIT CAPACITY: In the first column, identify the section containing your softener tank size and then within this
section, find the row pertaining to your H - Compensated Hardness level. Then look under the C - Capacity column
to find the most efficient program value to enter for your C - Unit Capacity and record it in the table on page 2.
Note that your unit capacity program value may actually be lower than the tank’s rated capacity. This is to
accommodate a lower salt dose for regeneration.
6) BF - BRINE FILL: In the first column, identify the section containing your softener tank size and then within this
section, find the row pertaining to your H - Compensated Hardness level. Then look under the BF - Brine Fill column
to find the most efficient program value to enter for your BF - Brine Fill and record it in the table on page 2.
7) Example: If you ordered a 64K grain capacity system and have 28 gpg compensated hardness, you would look under
the 64K, 2.0 cu ft section and then look under the 25+ gpg row for your particular programming values. Note that the
11x11” and the 15x17” brine tanks are too small for the amount of brine needed to regenerate a 64K grain capacity system
with 25+ gpg hardness. According to the table you would opt for an 18” diameter brine tank with a grid plus 6” legs
