How big is your softener?
How old is it?
When was last time you backflushed to fluff resin beads up?
My 8000 grain On-The-Go using 1 lb of table salt for regen would last a week fr 2 adults in Alamogordo NW (well water from Tularosa Basin-------VERY HARD water source)
It's 3 years old
I back flushed the last time beginning of November
Very hard water here in Az
Yes the water is hard here in AZ
If you have a Mark 8000 it should treat 800 gallons before needing regen (8000 gr/10 gr hardness---800 gallons)
4 days is 200 gallons a day !!!!!
Even if hardness was 12 gr. that is 670 gallons before regen.
4 days would be 167 gallons a day.
You either are not regenerating long enough, resins are coated up (Iron), resin beads are damaged (Chlorinated water) OR resin beads have been lost.
Different forms of salt won't matter......
