You should be looking at getting one that does not automatically regenerate at the same time everyday.
Instead, find one that you can program for the actual amount of water you actually use. Then when you go on vacation and are not actually using water in your house, the softener will not be regenerating water that is soft.
There are also some on the market that will test the softness of your water before it regenerates. For those, you simply program in how many grains of hardness are acceptable to you and the softener does the rest.
