We accidentally dumped a cup of the resin out. Do we need to replace?
If you only lost a cup of resin you do not need to replace it. The amount of resin does not affect how soft the water gets but the capacity of the unit. For example the Double Standard Softener has 20 lbs of softener resin and changes are you will not be able to tell the difference in capacity losing a cup of resin.
