Question: how much salt should I keep in my LWTS water softener tank?

2021/03/19 bill
i have a system model#lwtsf-450-2'' single w/bypass& brine reclaim how high should i keep my salt levels in the tank

This Q&A were posted originally at WATER SOFTENER BRINE TANK WATER TOO HIGH

Moderator reply: calculate salt based on salt does + cover the water

@bill,

As a matter of practice I like to keep enough salt in a water softener brine tank that I'm confident the softener won't run out of salt before my next regular inspection date.

So, for example if I inspect the softener brine tank once a month, I would fill to at least a bit above one month's usage.

But that's too vague. Let's get specific:

For your LWTS model #450, the company says that the salt dose (per regen-cycle) will be

- maxiumum: 225 pounds of salt
- minimum: 90 pounds of salt
- or to be more clever, you can see what your actual softener setting is in pounds of salt

Next look at the water softener regeneration cycle setting on your machine.

If, for example, your softener is set to 100 pounds of salt per "dose" or per regeneration cycle,
and
if your softener is set to run a regeneration cycle once a week,
and
if you are going to inspect your softener once a month,
Then
you would want to keep at least a bit over 400 pounds of salt in the brine tank.

If you don't already have a manual for your LWTSF - Lakeside Water Treatment industrial series water softener, you can obtain a manual from the company
