I adjusted the lower brine level - that is, the brine level after the float switch stops further brine draw - to be just above the lower platform in my brine tank. I did this because the factory setting was too low: At the salt usage I'm running, one gallon of brine, the brine wasn't reaching the salt when it refilled.
Having seen salt sludge at the bottom of a tank, I'm wondering if I made a mistake, considering I can now do brine refill (upflow / variable brining head) before the regeneration. Would it be ideal for the tank to sit with the salt held just above the water? It wouldn't be hard to lengthen the draw tube; would it be best to get the brine level below the platform?
What causes the salt sludge to form? Is it where salt sits below the draw point?
