I think you misunderstood my comment. What I was trying to say is, automatic bypass valves which will keep water available during regeneration are mostly found on higher priced units. Any you are right, the user interface on most systems are very criptic but once you set up your softener, there is no reason to go in and change the settings.

If you had a phone app for your softener to change the settings what would you use it for?

The only thing I can say is useful is to know when to refill the brine tank with salt vs going over to the tank periodically and taking a look or setting an alert on you calendar each month.
