Make Sure Your Salt Reservoir is as Empty as Possible This will make the task easier and ensure you can do a better job at cleaning the tank. Now, if it’s full as you read this, don’t add any more salt and come back to your tank in a few weeks when it gets close to being empty. And guess what? By letting the salt level drop really low, you might even be helping the water softener system work better.
2) Break Down Salt Residues Once the reservoir or tank is empty, you’ll most likely find a rock-hard salt deposit that has formed over time. To remove the salt clog, use the handle of your broom down to tap the salt until it breaks. If you notice that the broom handle doesn’t do the trick, find something a bit sharper.
3) Dissolve The Salt Residues Now that you’ve broken up the salt clog, time to dissolve it and remove it completely. Use a cleaning solution designed to target whatever minerals you have in your home. For instance, if your water is higher in magnesium than calcium, make sure to use a cleaning solution that specifically targets magnesium.
4) Flush Out The Residues Now that the residues have been broken down and dissolved in the cleaning solution, the next step is to remove them. Locate your control valve and switch your unit to the regeneration mode. This mode will automatically flush out the grime and minerals from the hard water. Perform this process twice to make sure any residues have been flushed out.
5) Switch Your Water Softener Back To Normal Mode The last step to clean your water softener is to switch back to normal mode and run tap water through your tank to rinse out any cleaning solution that may be left. And after you’ve completed this step, don’t forget to refill your tank with salt!
