How often should I maintain or regenerate a water softener?
The maintenance schedule for a water softener largely depends on your household’s water usage and the hardness level of your incoming water supply. Most systems regenerate automatically once or twice per week, but some advanced models adjust based on real-time usage.
Regeneration involves replenishing the sodium in the resin bed to keep it effective. You’ll need to keep the brine tank filled with salt or potassium chloride pellets, which are typically added once every month. Checking salt levels regularly helps ensure consistent soft water output.
Other routine maintenance includes cleaning the brine tank once or twice a year and occasionally flushing the system to remove buildup or debris. Keeping the unit in good working condition ensures it performs efficiently over its lifespan, which can be 10–15 years or more.
