The devil is in the details here. Recommend you look carefully at your demand and put pencil to paper. When you do have a higher demand, if some of the demand is for equipment where softened water is critical to avoid damage (e.g., RO system, boiler), then you should size the equipment for...

With a carbon filter before the softener, 8% cross linked resin would be my choice.

"Generic" resin would not be my choice. There are all sorts of imported resin out there - it's a bit of a crap shoot. Are you delivering chlorinated water to the softener?

Let's back up and make sure this softener is correctly sized for your application. How much flow (gpm) do you want this softener to treat? A 1" valve is pretty small for a carwash application. What is it you are feeding the softened water to? Russ

If the valve is old, or of unknown age, it will need some maintenance. The valve may need a little, or a lot, and also the media should be replaced if over 5 yrs old if exposed to chlorinated water. The brine tank should be cleaned out at least once a year. The reason it in not regenerating...

very well could be. Is it going through salt? look about shin high on the tan mineral tank. Should be a sticker from the manufacturer showing the tank size. Yours looks to be something like a 1262 or 1465 (i.e., 12" in diam and 62" tall). If nothing else, measure the tank size. From that...

That should be a Fleck (now owned by Pentair) 3210 metered timer in the picture, which is used on several different elctromechanical valves. Ugh. It's was a dinosaur when it was installed. Immediate Regen timers do not have a 24-hr wheel like yours does. There are a variety of program wheels...

The only other thing that could be holding the motor on is the shaft seal.

Do you not have these bolt heads?

Would you send a close up of the pump make model sticker?

We stock membranes spec'ed at 80 psi, 100 psi, 150 psi, and 225 psi. Realize that these are the test pressures used by the manufacturer. These pressures, along with 77F feedwater (and some other factors) are what allow the manufacturer to claim the output gpd of the membrane. In other words...

Feel free to give us a call when you are in front of the system. We can identify the different components for you and recommend needed testing and maintenance of the RO and the pretreatment equipment. Russ 513-312-2343

Water comes in the tank at the top, trickles down through the resin, goes into the bottom basket, up through the riser, and into the valve. Flow is reversed during a backwash.

So I suspect either the lower basket is broken, or the top of the riser is not seated properly in the bottom of the valve. Maybe the oring that should go around the top of the riser is missing?

That's the one!

When you rebuilt the softener, did you inspect, or replace the bottom basket (on the bottom of the riser)?

We prefer Axeon units. We've been spec'ing them for over 20 years. As an end user however you can't purchase directly from Axeon.

This is almost as soft as it will be coming out of a softener.
