What Arrives in the Box
Positioning the Tank
Select a level, stable surface capable of supporting the tank’s weight when filled with salt and water. Avoid areas prone to flooding or excessive moisture, which could compromise the tank's longevity. Use mounting supports or brackets if the tank setup requires securing it in place, especially in environments where movement or vibration may occur.
Connecting the Tank
The brine tank is an integral part of your softening system, designed to hold salt that dissolves into water to form a brine solution. Proper connection ensures consistent brine flow during regeneration cycles.
Water Supply Connection
Attach the water inlet line to the designated port on the tank, ensuring a tight, leak-free fit. The inlet supplies water to dissolve salt during regeneration. Use suitable fittings, and tighten connections securely to prevent leaks.
Drain and Overflow Proper Setup
The tank should include a drain line for removing excess water or overflow. Connect the drain outlet to an appropriate drainage point, ensuring the line slopes downward to facilitate proper drainage. An overflow outlet helps prevent spills if the tank fills beyond capacity, directing excess water safely away.
Salt Placement and Filling
Open the tank’s lid and fill it with the recommended type of salt. The compact size supports a good salt capacity, supporting extended softener operation. Avoid overfilling — leave some space at the top to allow for salt expansion and easy refilling.
Final Checks and Testing
Once installed and filled with salt, double-check all fittings and connections for security and tightness. Turn on your water softening system and observe the operation of the brine tank during a regeneration cycle. Ensure that the brine solution flows smoothly from the tank to the resin bed, and check for leaks or issues.
Maintenance Tips
- Regularly inspect the tank for signs of corrosion or damage, especially if stored in challenging environments.
- Refill salt as needed to maintain proper brine concentration, typically every few months depending on usage.
- Clean the tank periodically to prevent buildup of debris or salt residue, facilitating efficient operation.

Questions worth asking before buying
Before purchasing the BT151736-B Blue Brine Tank, consider your specific water softening needs. Assess your household water usage and hardness levels by having your water tested. Understanding the exact hardness will help you determine the appropriate size and capacity of the brine tank necessary for effective salt storage and brine solution creation. This information is crucial to ensure that the tank you choose will sufficiently support your water softening system.
Additionally, evaluate the installation location. Ensure the area can accommodate the tank's dimensions of 15x17x36 inches and has the necessary plumbing connections. Consider whether the tank will be easily accessible for routine maintenance and refilling. Investigate if there are any local installation regulations or building codes that may affect your setup, as compliance is essential for long-term performance. Lastly, think about the type of salt you plan to use in the brine tank, as certain salts may affect the efficiency of your water softening system differently.
