When your water softener regenerates, it flushes minerals from your softener’s resin beads. If your water softener fails to regenerate, those beads would become too heavily inundated with minerals to function properly.

After installing a water softener, you can expect soft water within two weeks. The amount of scale already in your home can affect how quickly the softener will get rid of it.

If a water softener is not regenerating, it is most likely due to a hard salt crust, also called a “salt bridge,” that has formed in the bottom of the tank. The bridge prevents salt from falling down and dissolving in the water to form brine. If too little salt gets dissolved, the resin can’t regenerate and will eventually stop softening. In this case, you’ll need to schedule a professional repair to address the issue.
