Water Softener 2 week recharge cycle OK?

Hi,

I live in the west so it's important to conserve water. I'm thinking to size my softener with 5600SXT so it recharges at about 2 weeks. It appears that the recharge water consumption is about the same regardless of the system capacity. I know that the force recharge is usually set to 2 weeks on these units. Perhaps I would set the force recharge a little longer. From what I have read, if you go too long between recharges the resin may lose it's "freshness" whatever that means.

Thanks
