Default water softner question??

I have a water softner that is about 5 years old. I just moved it to my new house about a year ago.It doesnt seem to be working as great as it used to.So I have a couple of questions. What should te hardness be set at it reads like from 10-300 I have it set on 20 default is 25 ppm I belive. Does the stuff in the tank go bad ? does it need to be changed out? And yes it is full to the top with salt. helllp I know nothing about these things ..And its an eco water softner if that helps.
