Thank you for the question, now that I’m thinking about it, you’re right. With my pool nothing happened as far as the liner goes

@@LowCostWaterSofteners thanks for the reply we have one spot on our pool that's about an inch and a half low The rest of the pool is very level. We're about 3 in below the gray top of the liner everywhere but that spot which is about one and a half inches I'm thinking about trying this since it's not an excessive amount to raise the frame

Thank you for the question. Yes you can replace the media inside the tank. You will want to remove the gravel and media that is currently in there. The amount of media depends on the size of the tank. If you have a 32k water softener for instance then you will want to put about a pound of gravel and one cubic foot of media. If you buy from amazon, you can contact the seller and tell them what you have and they can send you the correct amount so there is no guesswork. Don't forget to ask for gravel as well. I hope this answered your question and was helpful.

Great question, thank you for asking. It may depend on your area. I lived in the county and so homes were not really near one another and on water wells, though I did for the most part go door to door and drop off my business card since most people were at work during the day when I went by. I also did videos like this one, however, the title is what is most important. I lived in Decatur Texas at the time and the title of one of my videos was "Water Softener Sales Decatur Texas." I did my video on the type of water softeners I sold. If you do a TH-cam video, it comes up first on the page before the organic information. You will want to use what people search for in the title of your videos. Do as many videos as you can, all you need is a phone and a TH-cam channel. My suggestion would be to buy some postcards from an inexpensive card company and put them on the doors in new neighborhoods since they won't have water softeners yet. You'll also want to advertise R/O systems as well. If I were to go door to door, it would be in the evening when people were home, and you could just introduce yourself and give them your card unless they weren't busy and asked you to come in. All in all, I feel like videos are the most effective because the customer gets to know you before they even meet you in person and it allows them to get info without being pressured by some salesman. I know I gave you more information than you asked for, I just wanted to hit as many sides as possible to help you be more successful. I hope I was able to help.

@@jimtum1 interesting, thank you for replying.

@@jojob1155 if the hole is near the top, they make in pool skimmers for that skimmer/filter

I filled it back but still see same issue.

Press regen and next at the same time and hold for ten seconds,

@@mesreekanth try pressing regen and next at the same time

@@LowCostWaterSofteners Sir Thanks for your quick response, My model number is GXSHC40N and I have mode and Recharge buttons on the panel

@@LowCostWaterSofteners Sir thanks for your prompt response. My Model Number is : GXSHC40N and I have mode and Recharge buttons on my panel

Gabe it sounds like you need a new motor, since your motor sat it may have seized up for non use. I have a brand new one I’d like to get to you some how

48” x 18’

Because of my nfeighbors roof, the pool did not have time to buckle

Nor sir, the brick stood it’s ground

Which brand of water softener

Yes, a dripping faucet may cause you to use more water and the more water you use the more frequently your system will backwash using more salt

For a water softener to regen correctly it needs at least 40psi, pressure is most needed in a filter rather than a softener however, it does matter some. Allow me to ask a few questions; it may be time again to change the resin again, take note that rebuiding the valve should not have anything to do with pressure loss. At this point it seems like it may be the resin, I know this is not much help but if you get it figured out please let me know.

What kind of filter are you referring to

My first guess would be that someone got up at night and used a faucet or toilet well it wasn’t regeneration so they got salt water in the lines. I would check to see if if it ever happens again likely not or the timer is off on the valve. Do you want to set it to the right time by pushing the red button, and then adjusting the wheel.

Put the softener into brine draw and Remove the tube attached to the Venturi, put your finger over the hole and see if you have suction. If you have suction then the problem may be your brine tube that goes to the bottom of the tank. Take it out, remove the black clip and pull the tube out. Reconnect the tube to the Venturi and see if you have suction, if not make sure the float and black plunger looking thing are not stuck to the brine body. If no suction after that then you’ll need to clean the little screen in the bottom. When replacing, make sure the float is not stuck to the top of the brine body. If that doesn’t work please get back to me

Thank you- what’s the best way to clean the screen? I was getting minimal suction from the brine tube, suction was great at the Venturi

@@coamich I would be careful and take the screen out and just wash it in the sink and replace it. Once you have good suction put it back together and put it back into brine and see if the water level is going down then take out as much water as you can and allow the softener to suck the rest out and it should be fine from there, if not please get back with me.

you will also want to make sure that your fitting that hold s the brine tube into the venturi is tight and the tube is pushed it correctly

Thank you- this worked. However, still getting hard water after refilling the tank with salt. Should I check the hardness level?

Your hardness level may be really low if not on zero. Go into settings and set your hardness to 13 gpg and adjust your salt level to what exactly it is and then check your counter. You may also recheck the settings that say 999 days to empty and make sure it doesn’t say 999 to regen. Please let me know how it works out, if my suggestion didn’t work get back to me please.

@@LowCostWaterSofteners Salt level = 6.0 Hardness = 15 Display reads time & 999 Days to Empty Light is solid blue

@@Poptart_Az hey I’m sorry I didn’t get back to you sooner because I’ve been thinking about it. One time I saw that and cannot remember what I did. So, press the up arrow and down arrow at the same time, I believe this is the master reset. If that doesn’t work get back to me

Did that work for you

@@LowCostWaterSofteners now it’s my turn to apologize…sorry for my delayed response. Yes!!!! Thank you so much

I would go into the settings and make sure your hardness isn’t set on zero. The other problem I found one time, is on the out bound side of the water softener there’s a little wire that goes into the top and inside there is an impeller and if the impeller is stuck and it won’t turn and tell the machine, how many gallons have gone to that may be the other problem

You will have to put the softener in bypass then press and hold the regen button until it cycles once. The pressure will be off and you will have to take care in taking the black clips off and disconnecting the bypass from the softener. Then look inside the out hole and see if the impeller is stuck, if so remove it and clean it and put it back and you should be ok

Try pressing the next and regen at the same time. Wait a minute and see what happens. Or just unplug it as well and see what happens. If these didn’t work then please reach back out to me

Thank you for your comment. You can see below that people have had salt in their water in the morning after using water in the home while the softener was in regen mode. Not all models come with a bypass during brine mode. You may want to put your softener in brine mode and run some water in the house for a few minutes, then taste the water to see if you have salty water and then you will know for sure if your softener has a bypass mode during brine draw.

Thank you for reaching out and the compliment, yes one would think that should be done. However; based on my experience it is not worth the chance of losing or damaging the small rubber ring that fits in there, because once you open it up you could be asking for more problems, and nothing really happens to that anyway. Great question. I hope this helps

Thank you for reaching out, you may want to try this method- Hold the Select button for several seconds, until your display changes to the model code (ex. RH42). Press the Up arrow to display 'SoS' on the screen: Press the Select button once to restart the display board. You can then re-customize the programming accordingly.

Thank you for your question, a sediment filter will NOT remove manganese but a water softener will 😃

@Alejandro, I'm sorry for the delay. If you are referring to the beginning, the motor turns to the brine fill. If the tank is full of water then the float inside the brine well (big round tube next to tank) is keeping from filling. You can put the softener in brine mode which is the second step, you should have water coming out of the drain line and the water inside the tank should be decreasing. If not, then you will need a new Rotor Disk kit. This kit amzn.to/46szsgK is if you have 5 screws on top of the valve, this one amzn.to/3tCLAgD is if you have 8 screws on top of the valve. Let me know how it goes

Put the water softener in regeneration and watch and see if you have water coming out of the drain line. It will depend on what kind of softener you have

@@jimtum1 Thank you so much for help.

Thank you for sharing

@kellykotarski7982, thank you for reaching out. To answer your question, yes the motor will turn if the rotor disc is bad. On few occasions it will seize but that is not really the norm. According to what you wrote in here, you have not replaced the rotor disc. If you have 5 screws holding the valve down, you will need to buy the 3/4" kit. Here it is: amzn.to/3Eej33m If you have 8 screws to hold it down, then you will need the 1" kit. This is it: amzn.to/3Pdk1D1 Try replacing the rotor disc and then allow the motor to run on its own, if it won't then keep pressing the regen button until the micro switch works correctly. If this didn't help, please follow up with me

@@LowCostWaterSofteners ordered. I will check back when it comes. Thank you SO much. Local plumbers have not been much help :(

@@LowCostWaterSofteners it worked! I cannot thank you enough! Wish I hadn’t paid for a plumber that thought I didn’t know what I was talking about but lesson learned. Thank you so much again. You don’t know how much it meant to me to receive your help/advice 🙏🏻

Thank you for asking. It tricked me too. When putting the filter in, you’ll have to feel around and make sure the filter is seated properly. After a while you’ll get accustomed to the feel

I forgot to mention, it has to fit tight in the bottom

Achristinefowler3054, hey, thank you for asking your question. We kept ours at about half way up on the hole the water goes in most of the time :>0

Another guy had the same problem, this is what he said @LowCostWaterSofteners The outlet side where the water jets into the pool, that side was sucking water too. So I looked inside the pump and I didn't have the pump outlet lined up with the flex pipe that flows into the pool. It's fixed now. Just an idiot mistake

Silly question, did you forget to take the valve out of bypass and into service?

@@jimtum1The bypass was turned to service.
