When I first installed my softener it gave a really soft and slimy feel. It’s not been a year yet with it and I’ve noticed less of a soft feel.
I’ve gone through and checked everything to do with the brine tank, the salt setting, made sure all the lines are clear and unclogged, but it still seems to not be as soft as I first remembered.
My house was built in 89, has copper pipes, and to my knowledge has never had a softener. We have hard water too, so I’m sure there was buildup in the pipes. Could the softener be dissolving this and causing a bit of hardness as a result?
Edit: the only thing I haven’t looked at is the actual resin
