: Howdy, : I keep getting salt bridges in my softner. I use a broom stick to break them and my husband thinks we should our hot water on it to dissolve it. : What is the best way to get rid of these bridges and also preven them. : Also, how good are these magnetic softners? : Thanks, : Kathie Williams Kathie change the salt you are using, the salt you are using is a fine crystal the weight of the salt compresses the salt into a rock form at the water level, if you use a large crystal salt like SUN GEMS brand it will not bridge, or put less of the other salt in the brine tank. I have dealt with this problem often. I own a water treatment company.
