More utter nonsense.

It all depends on what other filters you have (carbon, sand, ceramic, paper, etc) prior to the resin filter. Your resin filter may need backflushing more often if it's getting clogged unnecessarily because you haven't got the correct sequence of filter material. If you're 'reactivating' the resin unnecessarily every time you backflush it you are not only wasting a lot of money buying salt for no reason but you are also unnecessarily damaging the area where your salt water backflush is dumped.

A responsible and informed manufacturer will ensure that you at least know what sequence of filters you need for your particular circumstances. An uninformed and irresponsible supplier will either not know or not care if your system is operating effectively and efficiently as long as you buy their rubbish and/or boost their ego.

Here we go put your ideas on fellow members.
Here is a picture of a auto MPV & when it backwashes then it regenerates every time.
They use only a small amount of salt.
If you have a water PH above 6.8 then you can uses Birm to soften the water, if you think the salt is to expensive & unnecessarily damage to the environment.

Ratchaburi !!!!!

No idea what I think of fellow members here has to do with it, but you are confusing two totally different systems, either deliberately or due to a lack of very basic knowledge and rationality.

Automatic backwash systems are, because of the cost if nothing else, likely to be a) properly set up and installed with the correct sequence of all equipment and differing filter materials and b) set up so they only backwash when required.

Manual systems, if produced by an unapproved and unregistered manufacturer and then installed without reference to approved manufacturers of filters or ancillaries, contrary to their instructions, are likely to be incorrectly installed, in the wrong sequence and without the correct series of other filters (carbon, sand, etc) that would vastly reduce the need for backwashing and re-activation and consequently b) need backwashing far more often than they should.

There's not necessarily any valid comparison between the two systems at all, either in how they work or how they're set up, which obviously dictates how they're maintained. This is simply more ill-informed nonsense.

Update:

A supervisor from Mazuma came to inspect the installation that was cocked up the first time. After looking it he agreed, installing after the pump was better and suggested not to use the tank for storage.

It seems much better now.

The smell i reported only seems to come from an electrolux shower. I have 3 steibel Eltrons that are fine!
