Salt Bridge Removal in Midville, GA

Salt Bridge Removal in Midville, GA

Salt bridge removal in Midville, GA fixes one of the most common reasons a softener quits. A salt bridge is a hard crust that forms across the brine tank, leaving an empty gap underneath. From the top the tank looks full. Underneath, the water never touches the salt, so no brine forms.

The quick test: push a broom handle down into the salt. If it stops hard partway and then breaks through into open space, you have a bridge. Humidity, temperature swings and overfilling the tank all make bridges more likely.

Midville, GA Water Softener Installation removes the bridge without cracking the tank:

• Break the crust with a blunt tool, working from the edges in
• Pull out the large chunks and any mush underneath
• Check that the brine well and float move freely
• Refill the salt to about half the tank height, not to the brim
• Run a manual regeneration to recharge the resin

We also look at why it formed. If the softener sits next to a water heater or in a humid basement, we may suggest switching to evaporated salt pellets, which bridge less than rock salt.
