How do I change my water softener salt?

Changing your water softener salt is simple: just lift the lid on the brine tank and pour new salt directly into the tank—no need to remove old salt unless it’s hardened or formed a crust (called bridging). Use a high-quality softener salt and avoid overfilling; aim to keep it about half to three-quarters full.

Not a fan of hauling heavy bags? Our ProWater Softener Membership takes care of everything—we pick up, deliver, and even fill your tank for you. You’ll never have to worry about doing it yourself again.
