Here’s your cheat sheet, written for the person who forgets to water their houseplants:
- Monthly: Check salt level. Refill if it’s below half. Poke around for salt bridges. This takes 30 seconds.
- Every 3-6 months: Clean the brine tank if you see sludge. Seriously, don’t let it turn into a science experiment.
- Once a year: Run a cycle with resin cleaner. Yes, it’s a chore. So is scooping the litter box, and you do that, right?
Pro tip: Set a calendar alert on your phone called “Feed the Gremlin.” No one will know what it means, and you’ll feel like a secret agent maintaining a top-secret water operation.
