Brine Tank Water Smell

[86sevenfivethreeohnine]

Had a new 2 tank system installed in December. One tank KL and the other 10% crosslinked resin (2.5cu feet). The softener will regen between 2-3 weeks (I've marked in on the calendar to validate this). The water standing in the brink tank is slightly smelly...maybe a little sour. But, doesn't smell like iron or sulfur in any fashion. I am a little concerned with the water standing that long.

Should the water be odor free? Anything to be concerned about? Pic attached (just cycled yesterday morning).

In general the water should not smell but... new brine tanks tend to smell a bit "plasticy" (is that a word?)

You could add a few ounces of bleach to the brine tank on occasion, this would help ensure the brine tank remains fairly sanitary.

Ditto...as always thanks. I'll give it a whirl and post back.
