Water Softener - Initial Salt Amount

The amount of salt to add to the salt storage on a water softener tank during new installation is dependent on the hardness of the water.

Adding the Initial Amount of Salt When Installing a Water Softener

The average tank holds 200 pounds of salt but need not be filled all the way, 3/4 full is ok. Check the tank after about two weeks to maintain this level. The average regeneration will use about 5 pounds of salt.
