It depends on your system and water usage. Most households need to refill their water softener salt every 6 to 8 weeks — but your schedule may vary.

Your softener uses salt during a process called regeneration, where it flushes out hard water minerals. How often this happens depends on the type of system you have. Some softeners regenerate based on time or water usage, while more advanced models monitor your water conditions and regenerate only when needed. If you are checking manually, keep an eye on the brine tank — salt levels should always stay above the water line.

Not necessarily. If we have access to your water softener location — such as in your garage, basement or a designated outdoor space — our technician can complete the delivery and fill your tank without you needing to be present. If your system is inside and requires access through a locked door, we will work with you to find a delivery window that fits your schedule.
