Is there’s any benefit to using old water for setting up a new tank if the salt mixes are the same. Basically, we are moving a tank to a new home. Should we keep the old water that was currently in the a tank. Or should I mix new water completely start from fresh.

What I did when moving in February was keep as much water as possible and had fresh mixed to top it off once it was set up. Much better that way.
