Hi,
We bought our first home after many years of renting and the house is on well & septic. We've never had to deal with well water or septic before so I'm a complete idiot when it comes to either.
We've got this water softener in the house...
The house was built in late 1993 and this water softener was installed in Spring of 1994
Questions:
1. The original circa 1993 flyer for this "Rainsoft Amazon" system shows 3 blocks of salt in the container. The people we bought the house from said to use the Morton's System Saver pellets. And we've been doing so... is that okay?
2. The inside of the "Salt Storage Container" was dirty and the bottom was clumped up with salt so I decided to clean it out. Now that it's clean, How much water should be in the Salt Storage Container before I fill it back up with salt?
3. Doesn't the tank part suck out some salty water for use during regeneration? How does the water in the storage container get refilled? (by me or one of the lines going into it?) Is water something that I should add regularly?
Forgive my ignorance.. but when it comes to this I'm clueless.
Thanks,
Craig
