Hi everyone

I can't find anything in the instructions or on the web about how much
salt to add to a domestic water softener.
(I have what I think is a Mistral C0817 cabinet with an 11 litre tank
with an Autotrol 255 valve)

Do people usually just bung in a 10 or 25kg bag every so often? If so,
how do you tell when you need to add more?

Yes.

Because its empty.

Does the salt need to be covered by the water in the brine tank or can
it be higher than the water?

? I have a saltt tank. Theres an inch of water at the bottom only.

Thanks

Richard
