How often does a softener regenerate?
every two to three days
It is generally agreed upon that regular regenerations are the best, because they keep the resin bed active. This should be every two to three days, although highly efficient softeners may generate every day or even multiple times a day.
How do you calculate softener regeneration?
The softener capacity is calculated in three simple steps:
- Convert water hardness from ppm to grains per US gallon. Total Hardness (ppm) = Total Hardness (gpg) Example: 118 ppm TH = 6.9 gpg;
- Calculate softener capacity in grains.
- Calculate softener capacity in gallons.
When does a water softener start to regenerate?
During the regeneration process, the water softener floods the resin with brine water, thereby “cleaning” the hardness minerals off the resin and sending them down the drain. But a water softener regenerates when the control valve tells it to start the regeneration process.

Is it normal for my water softener to run when no water is used?
What you describe might be normal if the water softener runs when no water is being used in the house but later stops itself. The water softener itself does not deliver water to your home. That is done by the water pump or incoming water supply.
