How It Works

The Nelsen 474-05BV brine valve regulates the flow of brine solution from the brine tank into the resin tank during the regeneration phase of your water softener. When activated, the valve opens to allow the salt-saturated brine to enter the resin bed, which recharges the resin beads by removing hardness ions. Once the cycle completes, the valve closes to prevent further brine flow, ensuring efficient system operation.

By controlling the brine dosage precisely, this valve helps maintain optimal salt usage and prolongs the lifespan of your softener’s resin media.
