How much water should be in Fleck brine tank?
Add approximately 5 gallons of water to the brine tank, and then fill the brine tank about 2/3 full of salt. It is OK to use any kind of water softening salt, however we find that extra coarse salt works better than pellets. You do not have to add water to the brine tank again after this first time during the start-up.
What number should my water softener be set at?
Your water softener hardness setting should ideally be set to the amount of hardness in your water plus 4 for every ppm of dissolved iron in the water. For instance, if you have 1 PPM of iron, you must add 4 to the hardness number, and if you have 1.5 PPM of iron, you must add 6 to your hardness number, and so on.

Some water softeners regenerate on a timed schedule. During the early morning hours, roughly once per week, the system will automatically initiate this process.
How do you know if your water softener is working properly?
How to tell if your water softener is working
- Check if your “softened” water is still easy to lather.
- High-quality laundry work.
- Clean pipes, faucets, toilet, tiles, and sinks.
- You still experience the unique taste of soft water.
- Leaks.

Should I manually regenerate my water softener?
It is generally agreed upon that regular regenerations are the best, because they keep the resin bed active. This should be every two to three days, although highly efficient softeners may generate every day or even multiple times a day.
Can I run water while my water softener is regenerating?
Well, the short answer is yes. Most water softeners are designed to carry a reserve, so you won’t run out of soft water completely, before it starts to regenerate. Most systems will keep a certain number of gallons in capacity, which you can continue to use while the regeneration cycle is running.
