Right on Lurker. But I've paid too many "experts" in my life to learn their trade at my expense. It's tough, without hindsight, to know the experts from the bluffers in this world. I'll take the fun of stumble-bumbling though most jobs anytime. I haven't flooded or burned the house down yet.

Also true. But if no-one pushed their "limitations" we'd all be shivering in caves.
Quote:If that is soft wall vinyl type tubing you have on the softener drain elbow you better keep an eye on it. That tubing can collapse and pinch off the drain. You should have received a drain elbow with a barb to use opaque PE tubing like the brine line but larger.
Nope no tubing in the box except for the brine stuff. I've got a "fair run" on the vinyl to prevent kinks.

We'll have a nice conversation tomorrow when I call him. I'm saving up all my questions.
I took out the backwash elbow as the destructions showed the flow control washer was down inside under the elbow. Here is the elbow with the washer now installed in its real home.
There was a bright orange tag on the valve saying "No DLFC installed!"
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing eh Lurker? But then this is why forums like this exist. I'm an "expert" helper on another forum and have taught many Newbs over the last ten years to build bicycle wheels, not to mention fixing every other part of their bike. Do THAT wrong and you might be under a bus or over a cliff.
