A salt bridge can leave a crust above an empty space, so a tank that looks full may not be making useful brine. Salt mushing is a different condition in which softened salt collects near the bottom. Describe the salt product, refill history, tank level and when hard-water symptoms began.
Service should address the observed condition without damaging the tank or internal assembly. Ask whether the provider will inspect the brine pickup and verify a normal regeneration afterward. Repeated bridging may warrant a review of salt choice, humidity exposure and loading practices rather than routine topping up.
What to include in the service discussion
- Bridge-versus-mushing assessment
- Tank and pickup inspection
- Regeneration verification
- Compatible salt and loading guidance
