If the storage tank is full of salt, it is hard to tell if

you have a salt bridge. Salt is loose on top, but the

bridge is under it. The following is the best way to check for a salt bridge.

Salt should be loose all the way to the bottom of

the tank. Hold a broom handle, or like tool, up to

the softener as shown in FIG. 9. Make a pencil

mark on the handle, 1- or 2- below the top height

of the rim. Then, carefully push it straight down

into the salt. If a hard object is felt before the pencil mark gets to the top of the tank, it's most

likely a salt bridge. Carefully push into the

bridge in a few places to break it. Do not try to

break the salt bridge by pounding on the

outside of the salt tank. You may damage it.
