Can it be done? It's a recurring problem. I'm even considering propylene glycol fog.

I've noticed the water in my brine tank can get a funky smell to it, but since it's used to rinse the softener, then the softener is rinsed again with clean water, I don't think much of anything would get in your water.

Maybe you want to clean out the brine tank. Fill the brine tank one way or another, One way might be to add 5 gallons of water before putting the salt back in.

Then, for each cuft of resin, add 1.2 fluid ounces of liquid chlorine bleach mixed into maybe a quart or two of water. Pour that down the brine well, or add the bleach before adding the salt. Let it sit with the salt for an hour or so, and do a regen. My method suggestion is not polished.

One fluid ounce is two tablespoons.
