I am not sure since the softener came with the house, but it was running for 2 years on the original resin and settings. I had wanted to use 10% but had trouble finding it so I settle for 8% to get the job done. Hoping to have a carbon filter pre-softener installed soon to help extend the...

Thank you! That makes sense. The settings are so far off, I think it may have caused the original resin to fail.

Recently my softener stopped flowing and we lost a lot of water pressure. I decided to replace the resin and in the process began to really appreciate what a smart device a water softener is. After a lot of research and struggle I was able to rebed the tank with fresh resin and gravel, and the...
