Brine Feed Connection 

The brine feed connection to the AE™ Series OSG is 3/8” tube with the appropriate adapter fitting. The 
OSG is equipped with a 3/8” barb fitting on the inlet of the brine filter assembly. Connection to the barb 
fitting is made with 3/8” ID x 5/8” OD flexible clear tubing supplied in the operations kit.  A primer bulb 
is also included in the operations kit and should be placed in-line upstream of filter assembly but as 
close to the unit as possible. The primer bulb will aid in removing air bubbles for brine delivery to the 
cell. (Figure 5) 

 

Figure 5 Brine Feed Connection 

Note:  On initial start-up, cell replacement or when brine plumbing connections are modified, 
air is introduced to the brine line. This air must be removed for proper operation of the brine 
pump. Air locks in the brine line will prohibit consistent brine flow to the cell.
