Default Water softener resin tank

Our 12 year old softener has stopped working, apparently due to
exhaustion of the resin bed. Is there a source for replacement
cylinders? The local company that installed it is stonewalling, trying
to get us to upgrade to a newer model.

Just another nice basic flake.

You don't need a new tank. THey take em apart, acid wash it and refill with
new resin. ITs a fraction of the cost of a new tank. Look in your yellow
pages . LAst time mine went (1998) it cost $200 and that was with a
refurbished control head.
