So, how often do you put salt in a water softener? About every month, with a monthly peek. Set a reminder on your phone that says “check the salty thing” with a laugh emoji. It’s not a huge chore, and the payoff is great: softer clothes, cleaner dishes, and showers that feel like a spa visit.
You don’t need to be a water expert. Just be like my aunt—consistent, not perfect. And if you forget one month? No big deal. Just toss a bag in, give the tank a little nod of encouragement, and let your softener get back to work. Your skin, your pipes, and your coffee maker will sing your praises. Now go check that salt level—I’ll wait.
