Brine Tank Asm. 18x33 Almond w/PU

Keep it simple with the Nelsen 18" x 33" Round Almond Brine Tank Assembly with Brine Pickup. This streamlined package gives you a robust round polyethylene salt tank plus the brine pickup needed to draw concentrated brine into your softener's control valve during regeneration, without extra components you may not need. It's an economical, practical choice when your existing safety valve or air check is still serviceable and only the tank needs replacing.

The 18x33 round size is one of the most popular dimensions for residential water softeners, balancing ample salt storage with an easy-to-fit footprint that works in basements, garages, and utility rooms alike. The almond color suits neutral and older utility spaces, and the polyethylene build resists corrosion through years of salt and moisture exposure without cracking or degrading.

• Round polyethylene brine tank with cover
• 4" brine well with cap
• Brine pickup assembly for reliable brine draw
• Warm almond finish for a versatile look
• Durable, corrosion-resistant polyethylene construction

This basic configuration is ideal when you already have a compatible safety valve or air check, or when your system design doesn't call for one. The brine pickup does the essential work, drawing dissolved brine from the bottom of the tank so the control valve can recharge the resin and restore its ability to capture hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium. For dependable performance, keep the salt topped off above the water line, break up any salt bridging that forms, and clean sediment from the base occasionally. From Water Softener Plus on the proven Nelsen platform, this almond assembly is a cost-effective replacement for a worn-out brine tank.

A few additional details help you get the most from this unit. Brine tanks like this one work hand in hand with the resin tank: while the resin captures hardness ions during normal service, the brine tank supplies the salt solution that strips those ions away during regeneration, returning the bed to full capacity. Sizing the tank to your salt-use habits and softener grain rating helps avoid frequent refills, and using clean, high-purity softener salt reduces sediment buildup while keeping the safety float and brine line clear.
