If that salt is missing, the process gets disrupted. If your water softener is stuck in regeneration, it may be caused by a clogged connection. Other potential causes include low water pressure in your home or blockages elsewhere in the system.
The key to answering this question is to understand the method by which your softener regenerates. Some do this based on time while others regenerate based on demand. Efficient softeners may regenerate daily while others do so two to three times a week. Others still particularly older units can regenerate as little as once weekly. This process is key to ensuring that your softener functions properly and provides your home with adequate water.

What causes this noise? Hi Peggy, I wish we had answers for you on this one. Or hired a plumber? I have a Reionator Water Conditioner myself, and can only tell that the regeneration process has begun if I happen to walk out into the garage at that time.
I am a tenant. I moved in about 8 days ago and there is not a manual for the water softener. It says Resin Source on the tank. It is flashing SALT…. Is there something I am suppose to do here?

Starting to think it is the control board as it is from what I see 24 years old. You thoughts? The valve head might have issues and you could check into replacing. Good luck! I had just bought a house and I have a Kenmore Ultrasoft installed in Also, it is set for 2am daily regen and for 2 people I think that is way overkill to my readings.
