Designed specifically for 1.050" Type GDU mineral tanks, this bottom basket offers a reliable and durable solution that ensures consistent water flow and long-lasting system health.

Key Benefits

How It Works

The BD1050-GDU Plastomer Bottom Basket fits snugly inside the mineral tank at the base, acting as a protective barrier between the mineral media and the distributor system below. Its perforated design allows water to flow evenly through the mineral bed while preventing fine resin beads and sediment from escaping into the system’s plumbing.

By maintaining the integrity of the mineral media and preventing clogging, this basket plays a critical role in ensuring your water softener operates efficiently and consistently over time.

After installing the BD1050-GDU bottom basket, you’ll immediately notice improved water clarity and more stable system operation as sediment is effectively filtered out. In the first days and weeks, your system will benefit from reduced clogging and smoother water flow, helping maintain softened water quality.

Over the longer term, this component requires minimal maintenance and contributes to fewer repairs or replacements of internal parts, supporting reliable performance and reducing downtime.
