A brine tank salt level detection apparatus is disclosed. The apparatus includes a housing secured to a lid of a brine tank, where the housing supports an infrared emitter and an infrared sensor. The apparatus is configured to emit an infrared signal, receive an infrared signal, and determine whether a salt level in the brine tank is below a predetermined level using, at least in part, the receipt of the infrared signal. A method for determining a salt level in a brine tank is also disclosed. The method can include emitting an outgoing infrared signal, receiving an incoming infrared signal, determining whether the salt level is below a predetermined level based at least in part on the receipt of the incoming infrared signal, and when the salt level is below a predetermined level, alerting a user of the low salt level in the brine tank.
