Rockledge water in short

The usual problems with an older softener are a unit that stopped regenerating, a salt bridge in the brine tank, or resin worn out after years of service. Sometimes a valve repair is all it takes; sometimes the unit is past saving and we'll tell you that up front.
If your water tastes like chlorine, a softener won't help. Softeners remove hardness, not chloramine. That's a catalytic carbon job.
