When is it time to change your resin?
Softener is using more salt
The continuous addition of salt to your system with no changes in water hardness may be a sign of a damaged resin bed. Degrading resin beads that are losing their ability to soften water can no longer hold salt. Resulting in hard water returning to your home and plumbing.
Regenerating more than usual
Damaged resin beds can cause a loss of soft water. Soap not lathering, clothes feeling rough and appearing dingy, and soap scum on the shower and tub are some indications you again have hard water. Regenerating more than usual can be an indication that your resin bed needs to be replaced.
Excessive chlorine damage
Chlorine found in municipal city water degrades resin. It deteriorates the binding agent that holds resin beads together. Causing the resin to lose its effectiveness. Depending on the chlorine content in your water, this may happen quicker. Resulting in the resin needing to be replaced sooner than typical life expectancy.
Used for more than 10-15+ years
Water softener resin can last 10 to 15 years. But this depends on the quality of your water. Contaminants like high chlorine from municipal city water, iron, or extremely hard water can cause the resin to lose its effectiveness sooner. Resulting in the loss of soft water to your home.
