I've had my water softener for about a year now and everything has been great. But recently the water coming out of my tap smells and tastes like potting soil. I have municipal water and I've taken a sample upstream of my softener and it doesn't smell or taste like potting soil. Is it possible that there is sediment laid out in the softener or in my brine tank? Shouldn't the softener backflush get rid of any sediment inside the softener itself? I'm thinking maybe there's sediment laid out in the brine tank, but right now I've got about a hundred and twenty pounds of salt in there. Any thoughts?
