Process To Clean Your Water Softener
                     Process To Clean Your 
Water Softener
  
1) 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 
w ater 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!
