In our new house we have a Whirlpool WHES30 that is not working properly. I noticed that it wasn't softening the water, and my first job was to remove a salt bridge. I chopped through and removed all of the old salt, cleaned the venturi, and performed a manual regeneration. Voila! Soft water! Unfortunately, it didn't last long. I discovered that it does not automatically regenerate. The flow meter does not register at all. So that leads to my first question: if I want to operate in calendar mode, how frequently should I regenerate? My hardness is 25, and there are 4 of us in a house with 4 bathrooms.
The next question is whether I should just keep going in that mode or whether I should fix the flow meter, or replace the softener. The rationale for replacing the softener is that from what I've read it seems undersized at a rating of 30,100. If I do replace it, what would you recommend?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
