Look, you don’t need a PhD in plumbing here. Keep the water below the salt. Keep the salt damp but not swimming. And when in doubt, call the manufacturer’s support line. They’ve heard sillier questions. I once asked if I could use purple salt.
So, next time you walk past that brine tank, give it a confident nod. You know the deal now. Six inches, no drama. Your water will be soft, your shower will be silky, and you’ll feel like a water-softening wizard. Go forth and soften, my friend.
