"Take a look in your toilet water tanks. If all the parts are clear, clean and look new then you probably don't need a softener."
That's a good place to look but also shower heads, dishwasher water jets, coffee maker water tank....
It is best to use the potassium chloride salt. 2x40lbs bags ($30ea=$60) last me about 10 months at ~2000 gallons a month.
The GE softener/filter machine ($800-HomeDepot) back washes the filter at every regen.
