Charles Morrissey Thanks for watching & sharing your experience. Great question & to be honest, we haven’t painted a tank before. 😀 There are great paint options @ Ace Hardware. You will want to ask the Paint Department Manager which paint will be the best for your specific project. Hope this helps.

Plastic tank would need Krylon Fusion

Lucy Savery Thanks for watching Lucy & we hope the video helped. Great question & it’s personal preference. Most people store in garage while other may store in shed’s, barn...

Roger Childres Thanks for watching & sharing your experience Roger. By chance, has the system been momentarily disconnected from the outlet recently or has your house experienced a recent power outage? If yes, this is common...your Softener will need to be reprogrammed to complete its cycle. It’s also important to know ... if you’re showering the exact time your Softener is completing its cycle, you will experience hard water & that is completely normal & ok. After the cycle is complete, your water should return to normal. Hope this helps, keep us posted!

Bekka Nelson Thanks for watching. Your tank is supposed to have water in it. In the event that the water level is above the salt, you will just want to add another bag of salt or two. As you add salt, you will notice that the salt level rises and your water level does not. Sounds like your system is working normally. We love KZfaq! Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together.

Thanks for watching & we appreciate you sharing this. The system will use all remaining salt overtime...&... it will always have water inside tank if operating correctly. Keep us posted on your project, hope all is well. 😎👍🔧🔩

Thanks for watching & welcome to the DIY Raptor Club. You want the water to stay inside tank. Slowly add salt to your tank & bring salt level up. As the system re-generates, it will lower the water to its specified level. Once system is filled with salt & re-generated, you should not see any water. The water level will be lower. Keep us posted. 😎👍

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders thanks for the quick reply. Before seeing your reply I asked a neighbor and he said, "you should call have it serviced since the brine tank is only supposed to be about a 1/4 full of water. Salt or no salt." Thanks again.

@@blinzy You are very welcome, keep us posted. 😎👍

Thanks for watching & in this system, it’s just a screw that secures the top plastic tube to the bottom. 😎👍

Nishad Naik Thanks for watching & we hope the video helped. As you fill tank, the water will continue to rise. After adding a few bags of salt, the water level will find its resting point & sit stationary. 👍 We really enjoy making these helpful videos for our fellow DIY’ers.

Sounds good thank you :) and yes I’ll definitely be posted on here

Nishad Naik Awesome Awesome & thank you! 😎👍🔧🔩

Tremaine Rossyion Thanks for watching & congratulations on the new home. Sounds like a friendly trip to the store to purchase water softener salt is a must. Hopefully the system hasn’t been without salt for a long period of time. Add salt all the way to top of Brine tank & manually regenerate system by selecting it in the softener monitor. After 2-3 generations...since it was completely empty of salt...your water should be back to normal. Keep us posted. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thank you very much 😀

@@TremaineRossyion You are very welcome. 😎👍🔧🔩

fishbone856 Thanks for watching & sharing your question. Great question & the most important steps to take are filling salt to proper fill parameters & reprogramming your Softener.

Mureen Bent Thanks for watching & that’s a great question. The water should remain inside tank & salt will mix with the water as it is added. Let us know if you have any questions. Us fellow DIY’ers need to stick together! 😎👍🔧🔩

Good day sir.. How much put water in the tank?

Rouela Dagalea Thanks for watching, water inside tank is normal & required. Your system will monitor & manage water on its own. Hope the video helped. 😎👍🔧🔩

Ashley Nelsen Thanks for watching & sharing your comment. Congratulations on your new home, that’s awesome! 😀 You will want to add Salt within a few days after moving in & using water. The longer you have no salt, the more damage you will put on your system. Keep us posted!

Gerald Jirau Thanks for watching & sharing your comment. Letting the softener go without salt for long periods of time will unfortunately begin to cause stress to the inner workings of the system. After adding salt to an empty tank, try allowing the softener to regenerate & properly equalize. This may take up to a few weeks depending on how long it was without salt. After a few weeks, if your softener is still not properly generating the water correctly, it’s possible that you may need to cut it some slack on its performance due to the system running without salt for a long period of time. 😲😲 Keep us posted!

Charles Beilin Thanks for watching & reaching out to us. The system will manage the water all by itself. You do not add water. 😎👍🔧🔩

Kimberly Johnson Thanks for checking out the video Kimberly! What type of issues are you experiencing with your system? Keep us posted! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your KZfaq notifications that would be awesome thanks again 😎👍

A Ryan Thanks for watching & it will depend on the size of your tank & the demand. If you’re the only one occupying your home, it will last a lot longer as opposed to having a family of say...7 We hope the video helped. 😎👍🔧🔩

@@DIYwithMichaelBorders Thank you so much. It's just me and my wife. Bought the house in June. I will monitor it based on your video Appreciate the help!

A Ryan I’ll be on my way to pick up more salt Monday, ours is getting low again. 😎👍🔧🔩

Sarah Thanks for watching & you’re spot on. 😀 We hope the video helped. Please subscribe to the channel and ring your KZfaq bell 🔔 this will be very helpful to us thanks again. 😎👍🔧🔩

Which fill line? I have none

Really? it's a four minute video. you must have a limited attention span or perhaps narcolepsy.

Michael Scott Karpovich Thanks for watching & sharing your comment. That’s a great question & honestly...it depends on your specific Softener. The older style Softeners allowed you to pour Salt all the way to the top. I still do that with my Softener as it’s still an older model...roughly 8 years old. We recommend reading your owners manual / paperwork that came with your Softener as it will provide the specifics in regards to required & recommended Salt levels to have in it at all times. It will even mention the recommended Salt that the engineers would like to see their users add to the system. We hope this helps. Keep us posted on what your manual says. We are curious to hear back from you. Hope to chat with you soon. Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your KZfaq notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩

Mike Remvidas Very cool and thanks for watching & sharing your experience. First & foremost congratulations on the new home that is awesome! 😃 Second, we recommend using only one specific salt at any given time. Mixing several different bags of salt may not be as effective & efficient as running one specific product through the system. Hope this helps! Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your KZfaq notification Bell 🛎 that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩

DIY With Michael Borders Thank you very much for the kind words 👍🏻 still a bit confused though ( sorry ) what's in the tank is definitely salt !! I purchased Morton's Softener Pellets @ Home Depot. Tank has like Rock Salt nuggets in there and softener pellets look a little different ? Than the rock salt. I'm guessing softener pellets is the salt ... LOL.. And I did subscribe to your channel.

Mike Remvidas Awesome Awesome & thanks for subscribing. Most people let the salt get down to a low & reasonable level & then poring the new salt product on top. We just strongly recommend not adding a bag of pellets from Home Depot one month & then a different kind of pellets the next month from Lowe’s...& so on. It’s best to find a specific brand & product & stick with purchasing & adding the same product each month! Let us know if you have any additional questions, we are here to help! 😎👍🔧🔩

DIY With Michael Borders I ok , thank you !! I get what your saying 👍🏻

Mike Remvidas 😎👍🔧🔩

K Mur the Gamer Thanks for watching & adding salt to tank is all you need to do. We hope the video helped. 😎👍🔧🔩

Leroy Edwards Thanks for checking out the video Leroy! That’s a great question! As you add Salt, the water level will rise. It is important that you add enough Salt to the Softener tank to ensure you are at the proper fill level. In your case, the water level being higher than your Salt level indicates that you are able to add additional Salt. As you add additional Salt, you should notice that the water level may rise momentarily...then should settle over the next few minutes. Normal operation of the Salt tank is water level always below Salt level. Again that’s a great question! Do me a favor, if you end up adding additional Salt, let me know the update of the levels, both Water & Salt! Most important thing is that you not allow the Softener to ever get to a point where it has no Salt. It will damage your Softener. Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your KZfaq notifications that would be awesome thanks again Leroy! 😎👍

Good morning, thanks for saying hi. Hope all is well with you and your family. 😎👍🔧🔩

wgsvm Thanks for checking out the video and sharing your comment! Great question! Your Brine Tank has a Check valve inside tank. It’s job is to properly manage flow & fill. If this valve fails, you will have an overflow. Please subscribe to the channel and turn on your KZfaq notification Bell that would be awesome thanks again! 😎👍🔧🔩

You don't want to fill tank to the top in case service is required. You then will have to remove a full tank of salt as opposed to a few bags.

Only true negative of filling the salt tank to the top is added downword and outword press on a plastic tank in time will cause the tank to crack

Jonathan Tanner What’s up Jonathan, we think you are referring to the Brine Valve Float Control. It’s sole purpose is to control & regulate how much brine is produced.
