No. Salt should only be in the main salt tank of the softener (pictured below).
If there's a large amount of salt in the brinewell, it'll likely melt together. This can prevent the float assembly from working properly. If this happens, follow our How to Clean the Salt Tank and Brinewell article to fix the issue.
If you accidently drop a few pellets or crystals into the brinewell, we recommend pouring 2-3 cups of hot water into the well to dissolve the salt.
