Normally it is not necessary to clean the brine tank. In time dirt and silt can build up in the brine tank and if you choose you can clean it out. Let the salt level drop down very low. The night before you clean, manually regenerate the softener. Disconnect the brine line and dump out the old salt, (Do not dump the old salt anywhere near living plants). Reconnect the brine line, add about (3) gallons of water, and add the new salt.

We recommend keeping the level of salt in the brine tank about half full for most households. Larger households can start out with more. Let the salt level drop down to the water level before adding more salt. Potassium should be kept as close to the water level as is practical to help prevent a “salt bridge”. Periodically you may experience a salt bridge. A salt bridge occurs when the salt forms a crust right at the water level in the brine tank. See similar questions...

The amount of salt placed into the brine storage tank has nothing to do with the amount of salt used during the regeneration cycle. Water will dissolve and absorb salt only until it becomes saturated. A given amount of brine (salt saturated water) contains a specific amount of salt. Just make sure that there is at least enough salt for a regeneration cycle (12 lbs. in the case of our unit). Most homes are plumbed with ?" copper pipe (in larger custom homes might be 1").

Primarily, keep your gutters clean. This will ensure plant matter such as leaves will not end up rotting away at the bottom of your tank and contaminating your water.

Thirdly, have your tank regularly cleaned by a professional tank cleaner. Please refer to Tank Care and Maintenance for more information. See similar questions...

Hatching baby brine is relatively easy. You can go the your local pet store and buy a hatching kit which includes brine shrimp eggs and a hatcher and follow the included instructions. Purchase a brine shrimp net if one is not included in the kit. You can also build a hatcher of your own out of a one-gallon jar with an airstone or as I do, use an inverted 3-liter bottle with air feeding from the narrow neck. I cut the bottom out of the bottle and save as a cover. See similar questions...
