Hague 60 series water softener

[Brownac1983]

My water tastes like crap for the first 15-20 gallons or so after my water softener regenerates. It's a hague 60 series using crystal water softener salt (yellow bag at Lowes). Is this normal? It's usually not a big deal, except when you get the ice cubes that made during that time. Thanks in advance for any advice.
