so you have a water softener and you
want to know how much salt to add to the softener
the answer is half full that's it that's the end of the video all right more detail first bag of salt
isn't that much if you live in an area where people have wells like I do
there's you buy these at the grocery store they're 10 11 bucks now we have a
small family we have three people and I had a bag of salt every two to three
months on the back it's the chart of every two months it says add two bags
three bags we use a lot less than this now the real answer you want to know is
the salt should always be higher than the water level so if you see water
level love your salt you need to add more salt a general rule of thumb is you
can keep your storage tank half full if you have a big family
keep it 3/4 full a reason you don't just dump the whole thing in and keep it
chock full of salt you can get salt clogged which is a big ordeal and you
don't want to have that so you don't just keep it full of salt all the time
but you do want more salt than water that's the basic principle so it's been
a couple months I check in we're about 1/4 a little less
than 1/4 full of salt and I'm gonna dump it in and I can see the water level I
can see right now the water level is a several inches above the salt which
means it's not getting a full brine and able to treat the hardness it's not the
end of the world but again we want to keep the salt above the water and this
salt has rust defense we have rust in the area so at the store you can buy
just the regular salt or rust offensively at this now after you've dumped it in that water
level we'll adjust in the next few moments there's ports coming into that
storage tank and it'll adjust and hopefully I will be at the right content
so that's it every month or so put in a bag if you have a big family you might
need two bags of salt but just keep it anywhere between a quarter to three
quarters make sure the salts higher than the water and you're good thanks well I hope you liked the video you just
