Water softener salt tank?

Answers:
The purpose salt tank is to brine the resin bed of your water softener. This brine of salt solution cleans the minerals out of the resin bed. What will happen occasionally is the salt will become bridged (a solid chunk) of salt. To cure this try using about three gallons of hot tap water. Pour it into the salt tank. This will help dissolve the bridged salt.
It is normal to have some water but it should not get above half to 3/4 full.
Water IS supposed to get into the salt tank. It takes salt water to recharge the resin. It's supposed to drain afterwards, though.
It could be the controls. You're going to have to call a repairman.
The tank needs the water to dissolve the salt. It is normal.
