We recommend doing your best to refrain from water use if possible.
Why?
When your water softener is going through a Recharge cycle, it will automatically "bypass" itself, meaning that any water you use during that time won't be soft. If you need to wash a dish or flush a toilet, those are okay, but you'll want to avoid bathing or washing laundry during that time. This will help reduce the risk of hard water sneaking into your plumbing or water heater.
