Your water softener regenerates roughly every few days. Not too often, not too rarely. It’s like the Goldilocks of home maintenance. If you use more water, it works more. If you’re on a low-flow diet, it kicks back.
So go ahead—enjoy your spotless glasses, your soft skin, and your shiny faucets. Your water softener is doing its thing, probably while you’re fast asleep. And all it asks for is a bag of salt now and then, and a little patience for its 2 a.m. gurgle.
Next time you hear that hum, give it a little nod. It’s working hard so you don’t have to. That’s a pretty good deal, right?
