I suspect there is fuck all difference in the salt usage between all metered units with same hardness water and same useage.
Your water at 310ppm is soft as fuck compared to mine
From the research I done - the two main points are metered rather than timed, and modern resin beads, which are all the same - unless they are of an old design.
Will be interesting how much you use, although if you’ve had it a week and your water is still hard, I’d be wondering if it’s turned up enough.
Only the hot is still hard, but its coming down. The cold water tank in the loft started out full of hard water, the 'new' water thats added to it is soft so it will taper down....the tank is about 800 litres I think (dunno why they make 'em so big?) and we probably only only use 50-100 litres of hot water a day. Currently its about 90ppm, down from 300.
Cold is fully soft, at least to the limits the little liquids coloured test kit can tell.
I was curious to see if there's a formula or anything which estimates salt usage...doesn't seem to be. I dunno if its like a squared law or what. The unit has been told the ppm, so it seems to work it out for itself. There's no "more salt/less salt" option.
Tbh - I don’t care that much. If it’s a bag a month, which is about what most people say they use, it’s worth every penny for soft water.
So far we use a bag every 3-4weeks, and my missus washes every fucking bit of clothing, bed sheets, towels etc like we are all carrying the plague, I’m sure she is OCD, but it keeps her happy
New Akaso camera showed up & fucked one shipped back, plus this spiffy set of handy things showed up... It will go in the drawer with my ovary snatcher & things of that ilk.
The extendable bendable light doohicky is well spiffy
New battery charger (car/bike), decided to see if it could revive my car battery & after a moment of diagnostics it basically said "it's buggered".. which I already knew owing to the 4.2v it showed on my AVO.
So Thursday's pleasing purchase will be a new battery.
Something odd about the way batteries behave in this car. They're just fine for ages & then will totally shit the bed. The current one did it over night, the previous one did it while I was gassing up at Costco in the space of maybe 3 minutes (on October 11th 2017 apparently)

3 years isn't very long for a battery
Bosch brand, bloody krauts...
Clearly got an 'I'm not fitted to a German car' premature failure generator included. The Bosch battery in my Beemer is the OE one which is 9 years old.
Used the replacement Akaso camera today, screen crapped out before I got to the end of my street. Camera got REALLY hot. Akaso got a fairly pointed email & a shredding on Amazon. No longer officially pleased.
Still waiting on the 2nd replacement camera which was supposed to show up yesterday. This is what tracking shows.. apparently it repeated yesterdays journey from Chino to Lancaster again today...

These Oakley’s. Seriously great in today’s sun
I wear sunglasses a lot, like almost permanently (unless I'm in the UK)
I've tried a lot of different brands at a wide range of prices, imo Oakley just make better sunglasses than anyone else!
The downside is they are fragile, mine invariably get scratched but I've resided myself to buying myself a new pair every year for my birthday and that seems to be working well !
Trousers, but not just any type of trousers, I have technical trousers.
From the company with a heritage dating back to last November, Eklentson, I give you fleece-lined, waterproof technical walking trousers:
In fairness, just over thirty sheets and they're warm, fit well, have zip up pockets and when held under a running tap the water just beads off. If I were hiking up Kilimanjaro I might have second thoughts, but for walking the hound through the woods in the pissing rain, they'll do.

I have the same ones (well they're black, but who's counting) and they sound great. All the reviews rave about the sound quality too.
Maybe you've got a duff pair?
What source are you using them with?
Through my phone streaming Planet Rock.
Just sound muffled like a low humming.
Now playing from phone to Marshall speaker and sounds awesome.
