You should maintain your water softener salt level between half-full and three-quarters full at all times. Keeping the tank in this optimal range ensures there is enough weight to help dissolve the salt properly while preventing the common issue of a "salt bridge" forming from overfilling. Avoid filling the brine tank all the way to the absolute brim, as packed salt can fuse together into a solid crust. Conversely, never let the salt drop below the level of the standing water inside the tank. Verification: Look inside your brine tank weekly to ensure solid salt pellets remain stacked visibly above the internal water line.
