Hi All, we have a softener as above which is at least 10 years old. Just over 3 years ago Culligan fitted a new controller because the system had started continually pumping water through the overflow. Unfortunately the fitter didn't leave us any instructions on the controller settings...

Enough Guys, this is starting to get abusive, and it was not my intention to start a ruck. I asked a fairly, I thought, simple question to which I have had some useful answers and comments. From these I have surmised the following: - There are 'Codes of Practice' and 'guidelines'...
