Brine Tank Connections
- Place the brine tank within five feet of the
mineral tank. The brine tank must be on a
smooth surface as uneven surfaces or pro-
trusions could cause the brine tank to punc-
ture or break. Keep the brine line to the
softener as short as possible.
- Keep the brine line as short as possible. The
brine line should not be more that 6 feet long.
- If multiple softeners (not normally recom-
mended except for alternating units) are using
the same brine tank, the brine line is teed off to the two different units.
- The brine tank overflow is piped to an open drain (piping by others). The overflow is
gravity feed so the overflow hose must not rise above the height of the overflow fitting.
- Once the brine tank has been placed in the proper location and the brine line
connected, fill the brine tank until the water level is 3 or 4 inches above the grid. A few
bags of salt can now be added. In operation, to ensure the system has fully saturated
brine, it is important to keep the salt above the level of the brine.
