Fill the Salt Storage Container
Before filling the brine tank with salt, add water until it is visible at the salt plate level. Then refer to Table 7 and
to
find the regeneration capacity based on the chosen salt dosage.
The following terms will be helpful to know:
• Max. Salt Fill, lbs - This value is the maximum number of pounds of salt that can be put into the brine tank. This
may be less than the total capacity depending on whether there is wet or dry storage (see definitions below).
• No. of Regens - This is the number of softener sytems regenerations that can be obtained from the maximum salt
fill.
• Wet or Dry - This column will note whether wet or dry storage is required
• Dry Storage - When enough salt is added to the brine tank, so that the salt level is higher than the water level.
When the proper amount of water is returned to the salt storage tank during brine refill (see Figure 42).
• Wet Storage - When the salt level has to remain lower than the water level after refill to prevent the displacement of
the volume of water required for salt dosages of 12 lb/ft
