With the cost of salt going up all the time a new softner would probably pay for itself.
There's only TWO names to remember in softner control valves. Fleck Division of Pentair Water. and CLACK. I had a 15-16 year old Fleck softner valve that worked fine but always leaked between the resin tank and control valve. Cheap imported parts was the cause of the leak. I worked in Purchasing at Fleck for ten years. Early this spring I got a great new Clack softner. They developed a lot of lower cost but durable components used inside their valves, a better value overall.
Just two of us, clothes washer, dish washer, but in three months I've used about 60# of salt. Softner moniters water usage, regens at 800 gallons, only when it needs to, not when a clock tells it to. I had one of Those softners when we bought this place, used 3-4 times as much salt then!
Do what I did, look up your local softner sales company, pay them a visit, take a jar of your unsoftened well water. See if they recommend a Fleck or a Clack valve. Same guy designed them both. He worked for Fleck for 20 years and then Clack for 20+ years. Still there I believe.
If you have 5-6 kids in the house 75# of salt a month would be about right.
