Now that you know what the general upkeep looks like for your brine tank, here are the steps for giving it a deep clean. Empty the Tank Before You Clean It Modern water softeners will benefit from a good clean anywhere between once a year or every five years. However, if you start noticing a funny smell, signs of hard water, or discolouration, you will need to clean the system as soon as possible. Maintain the Brine Tank For those who live in hard water areas, water softeners can be used as a low maintenance method of removing hard water minerals. There are many benefits, such as promoting softer skin and hair, and preventing limescale. To get to the inside of the tank, set aside the brine grid from the base. If your tank contains a mesh platform at the base, remove this also. Thankfully, standard water softeners require very little upkeep, so you won’t need to clean them too often. Whether it needs cleaning mostly depends on the condition of your water.
