Just curious how often everyone cleans them out.
I use 2 20gl Brute trash cans. One has DI for top off water and when I need a fresh salt for a water change. The 2nd is used to mix new salt. I need to wipe down my salt brute can and lid once a month due to brown residue (not sure if mold or algae).
My DI is about once every other month or as soon as TDS reads 1ppm. In case it matters, I test a small portion of DI after a 5-10min water runoff. If 0TDS, I then plug waterline to Brute. Once filled, I test Brute water to make sure it's still reading 0TDS (which rn its reading 3PPM so I disposed water and maintenancing the brown film and changed old RODI filters).
I wipe down each crevice with paper towels until the paper is white.
Any other methods that are easier?
Am I overworking??
Tyvm!
