What needs to be done to a softener once installed?
A modern water softener is fully automatic and has very few user controls, periodically the brine tank will need topping up as the salt solution is used, to do this just pour salt into the tank until it is an inch or so below the top, a good softener should have enough capacity to last a month, but this alters from area to area depending on the degree of hardness. If there is an electrical power failure it may be necessary to adjust the clock, that’s all there is to it. All water softeners benefit from a periodical service, manufacturers recommend yearly, but in some cases may only be needed every other year.
