you honestly sold me on this unit by the amount of detail and information provided for installation. I can't tell you how many softener systems I've researched that has little or no instructions. I just ordered mine today, looking forward to the install with having these videos for help.
Thanks for this series of videos. I just purchased the hydrotech 565. Looking forward to the results. I haven’t installed it yet waiting on my brothers help as he has installed the same thing at his house. Hoping for clean soft water! We have smelly water too if I understand this want help with the smell. I’m going to chlorinate the water first. I also read replacing the andode rod in the hot water tank will help with the smell as well. But our smell is from the cold an hot water side. Anyway this video really helps. May do the install myself if my brother don’t find some time soon!
Thanks i got this about 5yrs ago and have misplaced the manual. For some reason its not moving salt anymore and we have been greatly impacted itchy skin, hair falling out from hardwater etc .. i already tried manual flush and start but i added salt about 3months ago and it hasnt moved 1 bit ! I had to go back at about the 1minth half mark take a picture cause i was like is it moving idk 😂😂👀🤷🏾♀️ anyways currently triuble shooting at the moment gonna check all the fixtures and hoses
Two comments: Would quick disconnect fittings on the brine line reduce the chances of faulty installation by the dryer? The water in/out connections on the back of the unit effectively increase the footprint and the distance between the wall and the unit, which is an issue for those with limited space.
I'm installing this in my basement. Can I use a pump to pump the water to the drain that will be above? Essentially I have a pump for my washer that pumps water up to the main sewer line.
Omg,, THANK YOU👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🙏🏾👏🏽 for this detailed video. Our machine just came in 3 days ago we called someone to hook it up and they said 1400$ ,, I ask why.
Its because you need a plumber to come to your home and solder copper pipe. So it works this way. The water from your city comes to the house from outside, then you add this system in the middle, then this system attaches to you water heater or tankless water heater. Now you will have soft water in the entire house. They can also use pex pipe as well. I have seen it done at my neighbors home on these type of systems. The copper is expensive depending on who much you need, but what you are really paying for is labor, time and tools kf the tech to come to your home and install the system.
I don't understand the reason you don't want treated water to water the outdoor plants and grass .is it because it will have salt and kill the plants? . Also I have a septic tank so I don't have a drain I can just discharge the brine into after the recharge process. Would I need to run a drain into an area of the backyard that I don't mind killing the grass in ? Maybe a French drain
Yes, the salt used for a water softener is what makes it harmful to plants. Bypass your softener if you are watering your lawn, plants or filling a pool. And yes, a french drain would be a good idea..
US WATER AQUATROL FIBERGLASS RESIN TANK 12 X 52 | RT1252 will this help my home i have very hard water my home was built in 1892 and is large...can you provide me some answers I am limited on funds and have no clue to what will be needed.
The inlet to the house is where you want the inlet to the tank , in other words before the water splits out to your water heater. The outlet from the tank is then going to go to the same pipe . That way you are treating the hot and cold. . but most likely the outdoor water spigot will also be before the area of pipe you want to tap into. Which is harder to connect in homes that have water pipes coming through the concrete or brick walls. Hence, if you have a crawl space it's much easier

The drain line, is that connected to the house? Or is it plumbed to the outside? And this drain line, is this an over flow drain line?
Thanks for the tutorial! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👍🏼
Yup yup, copper tubing is not always accessible. Thank you for sharing!
Such a helpful guide tyvm!
excellent video, good detail, good job!
Thanks for the video. Where can I buy in in/out tubing? My copper pipe is one inch, do I need a different type?

Dove beholden2Christ24/7 are you in the Dfw area?
What if your water softener came pre filled with resin?
That's fine. Just means you get to skip a step.
@@uswatersystems oh, allright then
Pre filled but the pole in the middle is t flush. What about now.
What size is the drain line ?
We have an existing 2 stage water filter, would this be installed before or after the existing filter ?
Almost always yes, the Softener should be installed after the filters.
Excellent video!
Can this be installed outside?
Yes but it will need protection from the elements. You would want to build some kind of enclosure around it.
Should have explined what the screen is for and what happens when its clogged
solicito manual instalacion
I already put mine in
Türkiye'de bizde yapıyoruz Çeşme başka yerlerde çok montaj yaptım
it's a Fleck 5600 se not aquatroll
How can water have an In and outlet?? Cold water or hot water. None is in and outlet in the home. Seriously!
you need a plumber to come put that in for you.
The inlet to the house is where you want the inlet to the tank , in other words before the water splits out to your water heater. The outlet from the tank is then going to go to the same pipe . That way you are treating the hot and cold. . but most likely the outdoor water spigot will also be before the area of pipe you want to tap into.
