Water Softener Water Level in Tank

Hi folks, I have an outdoor water softener it’s a blue resin tank with and tall rectangular storage for salt. I cleaned it a couple of weeks ago. Since then there has been very little water in salt talk and used sweet FA salt. That’s the system in the photos. Anyway I’m questioning if there is an issue, I have bought salt tester strips hopefully have them soon. It’s in 6 years I’m thinking it has an issue. Unsure if water is salted either. Should the store have more than 2-3 inches of water in it ?

My brine storage tank never has too much water in it either. It has a cylinder in the middle that fills with water when it is softening, but never any other time.

Maybe it hasn't run a regeneration cycle since you cleaned the tank? The salt doesn't get used as the water passes through, only when the resin beads need to be regenerated. Press and hold the square button on the controller and see if it kicks off a regeneration?

I have done 2 regenerations myself since cleaning and it probable has done it itself as well. I bought strips to check if softening tbh. Time will tell.
