I've recently had a water softener put in, and I'm looking to
configure it for the most efficient salt usage with an appropriate
regeneration time.

There is a calculator which you may use to check your calculations at --

This calculator exactly matches my results for 6lb/ft^3 of salt, so
that helps.


If you use KCl rather than NaCl, the salt dosage should be increased about
27% at each recharge.

That seems a bit much. I'll try to verify that number, but at least
it's something to go on.

Thanks.
