i am in the process of installing a water softener system and i have 3 important questions that my plumber is not able to answer: 1) Should the water softener be installed before a water filtration system or should it be installed after the water filtration system? Or the sequence does not matter? 2) How much salt is in the water softener's backwash discharge? 3) Is the backwash discharge from the water softener system harmful to the environment where it needs to be disposed through the sewer line, or can the backwash/discharge water be used for gardening purpose?
I was out of town for a while and came back and I ran out of salt and it looks like there is white mold inside. What would you recommend in cleaning this?
We recommend removing any residual salt and water from the tank. Then, wipe the tank down with a diluted bleach solution. Add three gallons of clean water to the tank, followed by new salt up to level 4. Then, run a recharge cycle by holding the Recharge button until the motor kicks on. This cycle will take about 2 hours. Run a cold-water faucet for several minutes after the cycle is complete.
Thanks man this was very helpful! Just got a softener put in and this answered all my questions 👍
Glad it helped!
It would’ve been nice if you had the actual salt bags from the store so we can see what the best salt look like to using your water softener
