It's about 15yrs old. I would say that it's been about 12-18 months since it started doing this. I took the timer apart and inspected the parts inside. The teeth on the discs look fine, but 1 of the pawls looks like it might be worn. There was a small amount of debris inside the control head where the timer sits, but I don't think it was enough to have any effect on recharging. The unit uses a #4 control disc.
The water is soft and tastes fine. We never run out of soft water either. There is a rust filter on in the pipe going into the softener and a charcoal filter on the pipe coming out, and I change them every few months.
It could just be that we've been using more water, but I don't have a good way to test this. Probably the best indication is that we're on a well, and I would expect to see a corresponding jump in electricity use if we really are just using more water. But my electrical bill has been pretty consistent.
Any thoughts, ideas, or suggestions?
