Hello,
I recently had an issue where I was no longer getting pressure from the gravity tank:
//www.diynot.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=134051
It happened again so this time after clearing the blockage I quickly went up to the gravity tank to see if I dislodged a blockage (The tank is well covered so no possibility of animals etc).
What I saw was a small pile (quite small) of salt. When I look in the toilet sisterns, there is a slight salt collection there too. Nothing major but is it possible a buildup of extremely fine salt could cause a blockage?
We have had the water softener for 2-3 years (It was a new build) and construction elsewhere is just wrapping up. Does my theory that the water isn't as hard as it used to be and the fact we are "over salting" could be causing blockages "hold any water"?
I am going to have the salt usage adjusted since there is no point in wasting salt but am curious if another side effect of the extra salt could be what we are experiencing.
Cheers
