How often should the salt treatment pond be cleaned?

Later, I used a long bamboo pole to measure the height of the salt layer in the salt pond. It was found to be low, with a lot of salt mud inside. Later, after the salt sludge concentration was cleaned up, it increased. I would like to ask everyone here: how often is it generally necessary to clean the salt sludge in the salt pond? ， ， -
Well, it’s hard to say; it depends on the type of salt you use. Generally, if all other parameters are normal (such as temperature and salt layer depth) but the concentration of salts in the water doesn’t reach 300 g/l, then it’s time to consider cleaning the system. If sea salt is used, cleaning is needed every two to three months, while with refined salt, cleaning might not be necessary for up to two years
If there isn’t too much salt sludge, it is also necessary to consider the effect of high levels of chlorates and sulfate in the brine on a decrease in salinity; I wonder if your company has a chlorate detection system in place
This is a system that has just been launched. About 2 months. Chlorate levels are very low. But denitrification has not yet started. The sulfate level is not very high either.
