Looks way worse than it is. Clean it out and add salt. The resin should be fine, they're rated for like 15 years. I'm sitting at 20 years with mine and it still does a fine job. In fact, by happenstance a buddy works for Culligan and he doesn't even bring up replacement unless the unit shows actual problems keeping water soft, regardless of age.
