My water softener allows you to specify the water hardness ( 12 grains per gallon as measured by a titration test ). It winds up regenerating about every 8 days or so. I have checked the water hardness just before a regeneration and it has come up as 0 grains per gallon (the precision of the titration test is 1 grain per gallon ). I just double checked my records, I am using a 40 lb bag every 5 month, not the 6 months I thought.

I may need to check the hardness and adjust the settings on our unit. Thanks for the feedback.
