So we tried putting the grains per gallon up hoping this would help with getting the metallic taste to go away. Should we keep upping it ?

The metallic taste you’re getting is more likely caused by actual metals being present in the water (I.e. iron, zinc, etc.). The grains setting is for hardness, or dissolved solids; so, upping the grains level will probably not make any difference. It will only cause your softener to regenerate more often. You may want to have the water tested - a simple test for hardness and iron content can be done by a company like (or any similar) Culligan. Take both a non-softened and softened sample. For a more thorough test, get a sample kit from your local health department.

Is this a direct replacement for our old Kenmore 80+ model 625.348832?

Yes. The new Kenmore 350 is a direct replacement to your older 625.348832 model

I see that this is a "direct replacement" for the 625.383060 model but can someone whos replaced this exact model indeed confirm this?

Thank you for your question! I am a customer service representative for Kenmore and can confirm this for you that we recently rebranded and have used identical parts (with the exception of the cosmetic outside appearance) in our new models out now as before. I can confirm that this will be a great replacement for your aged Kenmore softener.

what is the white knob in back of the timer on this water softer??????

Thank you for your question, I believe that would be the bypass valve, it is designed to be able to shut water off to the softener but allow water to flow through the house, if you have any other questions please feel free to ask here or call us at 800-695-2761
