SECTION 1 wATER SOrrE.E.START-UP L J 1 E. FILL THE STORAGE' TANK WITH SALT ,, Brine (salt dissolved in water) is needed for each and every regeneration. The water for making brine is metered into the salt storage tank by the softener. However, you must keep the tank filled with salt. Fill the tank with NUGGET or PELLET water softener salt. DO NOT use rock salts, as they have dirt and sediments that will stop the softener from working.
