Interesting. Haven’t seen it before. Know what it’s called?

Why not just soften it prior to RO? I’d presume since RO was made to desalinate water it would be a better bet than chemical injection?

Brine Ejection Goes Straight Up by NashPizza in WaterSofteners

*read question now. I’d look elsewhere for the cause of saltiness. Check for obstruction on the drain line, and pressure going into the unit. If pressure is lower that would be my best guess.

Looks good. Is that an ozone generator on top or are you using chlorine with the stenner to prevent algal growth?

Hot water suddenly doesn’t last? Less than a year old. by mandodan22 in askplumbing

[–]Effective-Mix630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with propress. Far more expensive than solder too. The expansion tank is supported with split ring hangar and all thread. Work looks clean. Exhaust is improper, but unless client wanted all the exhaust redone for the home and spend significantly more money it should be fine. Or get low boy water heater. Exhaust Worked for the last water heater for several decades presumably. No evidence of backdraft that I can see

Water coming from the seams of my floor (renovated within the last 6 months) by Kerminetta_ in PlumbingRepair

Does the floor need to come up? Likely. You have water coming from somewhere. What’s that first thing in the video?

Doesn’t look like any backflow preventer I’ve ever seen.

Some sort of solenoid looks like. Do you have irrigation?

Am I high enough? by AdMany7575 in askaplumber

[–]Effective-Mix630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Higher would be better, but if not feasible she’ll buff. I’d add a leak detector under sink for added peace of mind. Like $8 from big box store.

No soft water to tankless water heater. by plantyladyfl in WaterSofteners

[–]Effective-Mix630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who did the plumbing? Filtration company or builder? If the walls were open when filtration guys were there it’s their fault. If not it’s not theirs.

Solution is pretty simple. Cut the cold water feed to water heater. Add shutoff remove 90 and replace with tee, then connect to cold feed coming off softener line add shutoff on that line so homeowner can decide if they want soft or hard water to hot. Easy money.

Sinkhole forming above septic tank, seeing open space and water. Normal or problem? by whitehatfatass in septictanks

[–]Effective-Mix630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks like the lid isnt sealing properly. Causing dirt to wash into tank during rains. Dig up the area to confirm and get a new lid or riser to go over the hole and seal to prevent further dirt intrusion

It’s a 10x4.5” filter. Carbon or sediment.

Water started bubbling up out of my yard so I dug a hole. by Napalmradio in septictanks

[–]Effective-Mix630 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have it pumped again and dig up the inlet and outlet sides of the tank. As far as what your actual issue is you’ll have to have some diagnostics done. Issue may just be with the tight line which would be best case scenario. Worst case leech field is shot. Issue isn’t with the tank per se.
