Thanks to all for the insights. I suspect I may be regenerating too often.
I must say I am also disappointed with the Culligan people--I've had them
come out twice to address the concerns about excessive salt consumption and
they haven't answered the question satisfactorily yet, only wanted to
perform fee-generating repairs.

I set the regeneration to once a week and I'll see how the salt consumption
is affected.

Thanks again,
Ken

My Culligan water softener uses 240 pounds of salt every 3 months. The
softener is about 10 years old. I set the softener to regenerate 2 times
a
week. I've also had the softener repaired to correct random regenerations
(valve mechanism was faulty and replaced). I am a single person and I
don't
think I use an unusually large amount of water.

Is this salt consumption normal or excessive?

Thanks much for any input and opinions.
