How long does water softener resin last

Date : 6/16/2015
From : Melanie

Question

How often does the resin in a water softner have to be changed I think ours is 8 years old Our hardness is off the charts and iron is 13 The filter is 9 inches wide by 42 inches tall Can i put more resin in the softner to make it absorb more and make regen cycle longer

Answer

Resin in a water softener can last upwards of 20 years depending on what is in the water you are feeding it with. Typically 10-12 years is the average. You can not simply add more, the most you can have is 65% full and still have it regenerate correctly.

Here are instructions for replacing the resin
