Question to experienced and pro water folks here:
Any opinion on programing where brine tank is:
1. Filled 1st to programmed level, sit for ~60 or more mins, then run through all regen cycles? OR
2. Filled at end of a regen cycle so 1st step of a regen starts with brine tank already filled (from end of last regen cycle).
I ran into someone that is in the business who sells systems in western TX where it is drier and he swears by using method #1 due to water evaporating from the brine tank if using method #2. I understand physics that salt water will not evaporate as fast as freshwater, but it will evaporate.
So, if system is in an area that has low humidity (<10 or 20%), should method #1 be programmed for softeners?
Thanks
