Alright so it shouldn't be too difficult, you'll only be cleaning out the brine tank.

I bought a house that sit for 2 years and pretty sure they did little to no maintenance on the place (its a fucking money pit but the property value is increasing so its worth more then we bought it for already)

You'll disconnect all the pieces (tubing and such ((NOT THE TUBING INTO THE WATER SOFTENER ITSELF JUST THE BRINE TANK)), it's fairly simple, there will be a water level bobber and shit like that use a youtube video to help you) TBH you might not need to do this step if that equipment is in good / clean condition, but just make sure you don't run a regeneration cycle while you're cleaning it I basically just unplugged the bitch.

I scooped the water out and poured it down the drain, and at the bottom it was basically "mud", so once the water was out I scooped all that "mud " out. Cleaned it out really good. Added 3 bags of 40 lbs Bright and Soft and refilled the water with regular tap water until it was about 8-12 inches over the 120 lbs of salt.

Then you'll let it sit for about 2 hours to let that salt water get nice and briney, and then run the regeneration cycle as normal. It'll pull the water from the water heater and such as normal after that.
