Pot Sol Tnk 18x33 For 1600 Brng (3/8)

The PT1833-03 is a Nelsen Brand potable-grade solution (brine) tank measuring 18" x 33", purpose-built for water softeners that draw and store the salt brine used during regeneration. This specific model is configured with a 3/8" brine-line connection to match Fleck valves that use 1600-series brining, and it comes factory-fitted with a Fleck 2300 safety valve to guard against overfill and the flooding that can result from a malfunction or runaway fill cycle. Choosing the model that matches your valve's brining type ensures the system draws and refills exactly as designed.

A solution tank's job is to hold dissolved salt brine and meter the correct amount to the softener's resin bed during each regeneration cycle, which restores the resin's ability to remove hardness from your water. The included safety float shuts off incoming water if the tank reaches its preset level, an important protection in basements, garages, and utility rooms where a softener may run unattended for long periods and a failed fill could otherwise lead to a costly flood. The generous 18x33 size provides ample salt storage so refills are less frequent.

When replacing an existing brine tank or building a new softener system, always match the connection size and safety valve to your softener valve's brining configuration so the system draws and refills correctly and the safety device functions as intended. For trouble-free regeneration year after year, keep the tank clean, use quality softener salt to minimize residue and bridging, and periodically inspect the safety float and brine well to confirm they move freely. A properly sized, well-maintained solution tank is the quiet partner that keeps a softener regenerating reliably and your water consistently soft. Match it correctly to your 1600-brining valve, give it routine care, and it will quietly do its part for many seasons of dependable softening.
