Once a year does not sound right, unless you already have soft water and the unit does little to no work.
Capacity of a Water Softener How many gallons a softener will approximately make depends on the hardness of the water source and your water usage. To figure out the approximate capacity of your unit, take the grains of the unit (Standard 8,000/Double 16,000) and divide that by the gains per gallon (GPG) of the water source. · Standard Softener 8,000 / 11 GPG = 727 gallons 8,000 / 58 GPG = 137 gallons · Double Standard Softener 16,000 / 11 GPG = 1,454 gallons 16,000 / 58 GPG= 275 gallons · If you go too long before performing the regeneration process, a few things may happen: your unit may not last very long, or, after the regeneration process, the strips will not test between 0-2 GPG at the output of the softener. This can easily be corrected by performing a special regeneration process.
