We moved into a semi rural bungalow two months ago and this water softener is in the utility room between the oil fired boiler and the hot water tank. There is no make or model on the softener.
We are unfamiliar with both the softener and oil CH, (but had an oil delivery and will be getting it serviced) Though the previous owner did show me about putting salt in the softener we havent done so yet. There isnt much water in it and i dont know how much should be or how much salt to put in...so I have the following questions:
what salt blocks do we get?
does it need servicing as every so often it makes a hissing/steaming sound....is this anything to be concerned about?
does anyone recognise the type from the photos?
any other advice/tips? Thanks!
