How much water should be in the salt tank?

The water level in the salt tank will fluctuate based on the valve position on your softener. Read our tips below to learn what to expect. 

Water Level

You'll be prompted to add three gallons of water to the salt tank during initial installation. From there, your unit will regulate the water level for you, at a steady 2-4 inches in the bottom of the tank. During a recharge, the tank will fill with water and then drain that water back down to 2-4 inches.

If there is ever water standing above the salt in your tank, troubleshoot using our Excess Water in Tank article.
