No water in water softener.

We install this softener system about 3 months ago, it’s called a dry salt system. When it regenerates, 4 hrs before, the valve opens to fill the salt tank with water . Over that 4 hrs the salt dissolves then the regen cycle starts , when the cycle Is finished, the salt tank is empty except for about 3 in of water .

Thank you, Mark! That sounds like a great system. How often do you have to replace the salt?

I put in 300 lbs of recommended solar salt and it regenerates every 28 days , so salt use is minimal so far . We don’t use much water because we built this house new and all water usage appliances are low flow. It was recommended that we use solar salt vs the salt pellets because the pellets will leave a brown residue over time whereas the solar salt won’t.

Thanks so much for the information. Enjoy your new house!
