The buildup
Salt sludge and a crust called a salt bridge form over time and block the brine.
The cleaning
Empty the tank, break up and remove the buildup, and rinse it out.
The schedule
A yearly cleaning keeps the softener running smoothly.
The call
Keep the brine flowing. Call 888-217-3585 and Toledo Plumber Connect will match you with a Toledo pro.
