I bought this one through Amazon. DURAWATER Fleck 5600 SXT Whole House Water Softener 48,000 Grains Ships Loaded With Resin In Tank, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010MR6T2I/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_i_PQMSKFKP2WFP74A313XC?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
Paid my plumber friend to install it and have been using potassium chloride from Costco. No issues at all.
I'm moving into a house with no water softener and I plan to install one soon after I move in. Based on my research, all water softeners are about the same except for the valve head. Fleck valve heads are basically the go-to reliable and easily fixable brand of valve heads.
I plan to buy one with a fleck 5600 sxt. It's basically the updated version of what you have.
I'll probably get this one unless I can find one for the same price locally.

fleck 5600
something like https://www.amazon.com/Fleck-Whole-Softener-Grains-Loaded/dp/B010MR6T2I/
Consider the units sold on Amazon that come with a Fleck control head. For example:

That's what I have installed at my home. It works great, and didn't cost a fortune.
