changing the beads is a royal pain and probably not worth the effort.
buy some "resin bed cleaner", empty most of the salt out, add the cleaner to the salt tank and run a regeneration cycle. if you're sure there's no ion exchange taking place maybe do it twice. cleaner isn't that expensive.
then at least every quarter add some cleaner to the salt tank.
this cures a lot of the problems

Hi Group,
I live in Santa Cruz, CA where our well water is extremely hard. I measured 70 grains of hardness with a test kit a few days ago. My water softener is about 10 years old and while the timer and back flush system work well, it is pretty clear there is no ion exchanging taking place from the salt tank. Before I buy a new softener, I was wondering if anyone had ever changed the resin beads? I read you can vacuum out the old beads and put in new ones.
