Water softener salt is not a precision science. It’s more like a friendly suggestion. Fill it halfway. Check it monthly. Don’t stress. Your softener is a tough little machine — it’s handled worse neglect than a few extra scoops of salt.
And here’s the part where I leave you smiling: The fact that you’re even asking this question means you care about your home. You are a responsible, water-softening adult. Your showers will feel silky. Your dishes will sparkle. Your pipes will live long, happy lives. You’ve got this. Go forth, salt wisely, and remember — the only thing you can really ruin is your pride when you stub your toe on the salt bag.
Now go pour that salt with confidence. You’re a legend in the making. ♥
