Replacing the resin bed in a water softener is generally worth it only if the unit is relatively new (under 7 to 8 years old) and the control valve is in excellent working condition. Buying replacement resin media and labor costs around $150 to $350, which is much cheaper than a brand-new $1,500 system. However, if your water softener is 12 to 15 years old, investing in new resin is usually a poor financial choice because other major components like the digital control head or mineral tank are likely to fail soon anyway. Verification: Compare the cost of a resin replacement kit against the total price of installing a modern water softener unit.
