Water softener resin tank

Aug 01, 2007 3 Replies

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.


Bob Just another nice basic flake. (and old fart in training)

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.

Might try these folks:

I bought a cubic foot of resin for about $100 a couple years ago. My local water guy ordered it for me.
