    Do I need to use timed regen on a metered system

    I'd suggest you set the capacity about 70% of actual size and program accordingly. Ideal regeration interval is once a week. We are family of 3, softener size is 48K(1.5cu ft) I set the capacity at 32K and salt usage at 11 lbs. regenerate every 10 days. All is well.

    Does water softener brand matter?

    I think Potassium chloride is less efficient than salt. Two things regarding efficiency, 10% cross linked resin, good reliable, easy to maintain control valve such as Clack.
