Clack WS1 Programming Help
Hi - I'm new here. I've got a Clack WS1 valve sitting on a tank that's about 9" diameter and 52" tall. It is unbranded and was installed by a local installer that has since gone out of business. Ever since it was installed about 4.5 years ago I've had intermittent issue with salty taste in the water after regeneration. I'd like to leave it to a professional, but I live in the middle of nowhere and no one wants to come here.
I've done lots of reading and watched lots of videos and ruled out all the obvious issues like kinked/blocked lines and valves and think I may have a programming issue. My unit does not have a flow meter and is just running on a 7 day cycle. It's currently programmed for:
- Backwash 8:00
- Brine down 60:00
- Backwash 8:00
- Rinse 6:00
- Fill 9:12
In my reading I have not seen anyone using a "Backwash" after the "Brine down" and I have found more than one site suggesting:
- Backwash 10:00
- Brine down 60:00
- Rinse 10:00
- Fill 10:00
and I'm thinking of changing mine to that.
Based on other suggestions I'm seeing I think my current 6 minute rinse may be my issue, but I'm curious if anyone understands what the backwash after the brine may be for?
