Where do i put rust remover for my water softener salt tank?do i pour it over the salt?

Answer 1

The most effective way is to pour it directly into the brine well (the big tube in the tank that goes down to the bottom) mix 4 to 8 oz. in a small amount of warm water and dump it in the brine well. Be careful, it will fume a bit, and some people are sensitive to it. This will ensure the maximum cleaning on the next regeneration. Only do this about once a month. the sodium hydrosulfite in the rust out breaks down the mineral bed, reducing the mineral bed's life.
