A residential water softener brine tank should be thoroughly cleaned and sanitized at least once a year to prevent the growth of bacteria, mold, and slimy pink biofilm. If you use unrefined solar salt containing organic impurities or live in a humid environment, you may need to sanitize the tank every 6 months. Step 1: Let the salt level run low. Step 2: Scrub the interior walls and brine well using warm water, mild dish soap, and a small amount of chlorine bleach. Step 3: Rinse thoroughly and run a manual regeneration cycle. Verification: Inspect the brine tank annually to ensure the interior walls remain free of slimy buildup and foul odors.
