Brine Grid for 39" Tanks, 10" Height

The Brine Grid for 39-inch tanks, 10-inch height, from Water Softener Plus is a commercial-grade salt platform engineered to withstand the harsh conditions inside today's demanding water softening systems. Constructed from PVC, both the grid plate and its support structure are lightweight yet highly corrosion resistant, providing a stable, elevated base that holds salt above the floor of a large brine tank.

A brine grid, sometimes called a salt platform, raises the salt off the bottom of the tank so that brine can form in the reservoir below it. This arrangement does more than just lift the salt; it promotes cleaner, more consistent brine production and helps guard against the salt bridging and mushing that plague high-capacity systems. This particular grid stands 10 inches tall and is sized specifically for 39-inch diameter brine tanks. It includes a single opening for a standard 5-inch brine well, and additional 5-inch brine well openings can be custom-cut to match your configuration.

Key details

• From Water Softener Plus, commercial-duty construction
• Fits 39-inch diameter brine tanks
• Grid height: 10 inches
• PVC plate and support: lightweight and corrosion resistant
• One standard 5-inch brine well opening (additional 5-inch openings custom-cut)
• Note: a 4-inch brine well is not available with this grid system

It is important to note that these grids are designed and built specifically for the brine tanks Nelsen Corporation offers, and they may not fit other makes of brine tanks. Confirming tank compatibility before ordering ensures the grid seats correctly and performs as intended, so it is worth verifying the brand and dimensions of your tank ahead of time.

For large-capacity and commercial softeners, a properly sized brine grid is a meaningful upgrade over relying on a tank floor alone. By keeping the salt elevated and supporting clean brine formation, it promotes efficient, consistent regeneration and helps protect the system against salt-related problems over its full service life. For operators managing several commercial tanks, standardizing on properly matched Nelsen grids and wells simplifies stocking spare parts and keeps maintenance predictable across the fleet of softeners. When loading salt, building it up evenly over the grid rather than dumping it in one spot helps maintain a level platform and consistent brine formation, getting the most out of the engineered design throughout the tank's service life.
