In Part 3 of this informative video, owner Scott Handy finishes his very detailed explanation of how a residential water softener works. Water that looks cloudy, creates a blue or green stain, smells like sulfur (rotten eggs), tastes bad, or stains fixtures brown can also gradually damage your expensive plumbing system – causing pinhole leaks, clogged piping, and unnecessary faucet, dishwasher, and water heater repairs. As “Natures Solvent” well water can contain common nuisance substances and minerals such as calcium and magnesium hardness, iron, manganese, hydrogen sulfide, and sediment; or it could possibly contain dangerous man made pollutants like nitrates, bacteria, lead, MTBE, benzene, and other organic and/or inorganic substances that can be harmful to human health. Mr. Water Professional Water Treatment has new technologies available that will fix the questionable quality of your drinking water, laundry will be clean and bright, and bathing will be a refreshing experience again – all for less money than you might think!

does the brine tank always fill to the top and if mine doesnt fill to the top what can be wrong?
I have a softener and In my brine tank the water and salt levels very nearly match. There may be a few inches of water above the salt when the salt gets low, but there is a float in the tank to regulate the water level. From my understanding the tank should never fill up to the top with water. By the way he is right, this is the best vid on youtube about how water softeners work.
Kudos to the maker of this video, it explains a lot in detail. For those asking about the brine tank if you look around or on the control panel. You should see an option that allows you to alter the water level in the tank. Either by gallons or by pounds in tank. Note: It will always refill your tank to the set level so you have to watch the salt level.
Excellent explanation Scott!
