Thank you very much for your knowledge. If the softener is dual and but has has induvidual programming valves. One is with MAV cable but the other without. How will you set it?
Good evening Gary, I have a clack ws1 with a 1 cube tank. Could I use my same valve on a 2 cube tank? I'm currently having an issue with iron bleeding into the water. Was tested at 9ppm at well only 1 ppm at tap. Was thinking of either adding a breaker or upgrading softener. Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks again
Yes, you can use the same valve on the larger tank but 9 ppm of iron is beyond what a water softener can handle. You need an iron filter like this waterestore.com/products/hum-chemical-free-iron-sulphur-manganese-fok-filter-1-5-cube
Great question! Clack is a far superior product becasue they started with a clean sheet approach 20 years ago and since it is non proprietary you can actually get manuals, parts and advice just about anywhere. A typical Clack water softener like this waterestore.com/products/hum-deluxe-water-softener-30-000-grain is far less costly, will last longer and is much less costly to maintain.
Hi , I have clack water softener with 2 resin tanks and salt tank. As you mention if it’s a twin clack , I’ll have 2nd wire plugged into the connector on board. I have only 1 wire, does it mean that I don’t have twin clack water softener but only have 2 tank connector together Thanks
Hi Gary, Thank you for making this video I couldn't find anything near to this detail. I have a dual tank system that has two Clack WS1 valves with different interfaces. Should I set both valves with the same settings or will they be different?
What is the reason for the second backwash aftervthe brine draw? I have a twin system with a switching valve plumbed in. My installer set 4 regen cycles. 1) Backwash. 2) Brine draw. 3) Rinse. 4) Fill.
I have a dual water softener tanks 460tc filter and 460tc, I just cleaned the brine tank and I added new salt…. Was wondering if I need to push manual regeneration on both tanks?
brands new house with new system , i have two tanks. on big and one smaller. however , there’s nothing connected to the second tank spot, and I get an error 106 when i change the setting to the 1.0 T. so what is the second tank for ?
I'll ask the builder, brand new home and equipment, both tanks are black, one of them is a little taller, they both have control valves on top. @@water_estore
Programming these dual tank water softeners are easy, when you know how! Check out this video.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping the do it yourself people
My pleasure! Please share video with friends and family!

Similar to the video, you would need to calculate the capacity and set it accordingly.

How does the Clack compare to the more popular brands, RainSoft, Kinetico, Culligan?

Gary what is your suggestion for a good solvent to put in the taller of the two tanks to clean the resin on the clack WS 1
Here it is waterestore.ca/products/pro-res-care-water-softener-resin-cleaner this video explians how to use ruclips.net/video/c8QKYr3B02I/видео.html

I'm not really sure. You can email us pictures of your circuit board and we can check info@waterestore.com

I am not familiar with the two vwlve setup but yes, I think you are correct.

I have a twin system with a switching valve plumbed in. My installer set 4 regen cycles. 1) Backwash. 2) Brine draw. 3) Rinse. 4) Fill.
To make sure you get rid of ll of the brine. More important if you have well water with iron in it.

Yes, after one finishes then do the second one.

I don't know, maybe somebody cobbled something together that is now incompatible. I'd try to find out from the previous owner.

I have similar situation, 2 resin tanks but nothing connected to second connector on board.
Is the Clack Ws1 same as the Fusion 2 model?
Yes, the Fusion 2 and our HUM Water Softeners use the Clack WS1 valve waterestore.com/products/hum-deluxe-water-softener-30-000-grain
I have a fuel tank system but it doesn’t have this wire. The program isn’t set up this way.
Is this possible?
Sorry, don't understand the question.
I cant seem to figure out the capacity of my water softner is there a way to determine this?
Knowing the tank size will help, check out this video ruclips.net/video/-KeuIvIyMis/видео.html
