Was pressure ok until you tried to take shower and run washing machine at same time? That’s what mine is doing, going to rebed next week.

[@MandeepSingh-rw2wv]

So there was less resin in your water softener tank and that was leading to low water pressure on parallel use? And filling up the resin restored water pressure ? i.e. on parallel use, water pressure is good?

Like was already said here.. ratchet strap a pillow case to the top. Cut a small hole in it near the top. Lay the tank on its side onto a 6x6 post (tank bottom) and 4x4 post (tank top).

[@mikedorsey7119]

Gravel is usually used to bed the distributor tube its poured up to the top of the bell housing just to keep it from raising up when the resin is poured in which can happen from time to time but if that happens just put a water hose with low pressure and send it down the raised tube and itll shoot water out the slits at the bottom causing the resin to loosen and the tube will immediately go down to position you just gotta hold it in place and screw the head back on. Also wanted to add being someone who does this for a living I have absolutely no complaints the methods in this video were well done!

[@DOLRED]

Oh, Kinetico, the good stuff. Have seen a few videos which indicate gravel goes in the bottom of the tank? Was not aware that gravel was in the bottom. Likewise, the resin only fills the tank to a certain level. Not sure what I want to do on ours. Maybe the local Softener outfit would rebuild it. But then, a new softener is probably cheaper since I will have to replace some of the valve parts.

[@marvinphillips4710]

He didn't, that's a big mistake!

[@mikedorsey7119]

Gravel is usually used to bed the distributor tube it should be filled to the top of the screen. The reason is because sometimes depending on the method the resin is being poured into the tank it can cause the tube to raise up out of the neck higher than it should be and the gravel prevents this but if that ever happens just take a garden hose with low pressure and send the water down the distributor tube itll shoot out the slits at the bottom loosening up the resin and the tube will go down immediately. You just have to hold it in place because the water now at the bottom can cause the tube to float if not held while you screw the head back on. The reason for all this is because if the head is screwed on and the tube is out of alignment it will bend inside the tank and constant regenerations at high pressure will cause it to collapse eventually. But no gravel isnt needed.

Nelson Cation High-Capacity Resin, 8% crosslink mesh, 3/4 Cubic Foot Bag Per Tank. Purchased from water-softeners-filters.com who had the best price. Hope this helps.

Depends on the size of the media tank, is there carbon in there also? And unlike this guy, put filler media /gravel to cover the bottom basket!

Sorry if you have 2 tanks I'm sure the first one is going to be your cardon filter
