Description

Efficient Brine Pick-Up for Reliable Water Softener Performance

The BPU03A Brine Pick-Up 3/8x36 Type A is designed to enhance your water softener system’s efficiency by ensuring consistent salt brine flow during regeneration cycles. Unlike generic brine pick-up tubes, this component from Water Softener Plus delivers reliable operation that prevents clogging and system interruptions. Its precision fit and durable construction make it a trusted choice among brine tank components and accessories.

Key Benefits

  • Ensures consistent salt brine delivery to optimize water softening cycles
  • Prevents clogging and salt bridge formation for uninterrupted system function
  • Durable design withstands regular wear and exposure to brine solution
  • Easy to install and compatible with most standard water softener brine tanks
  • Helps maintain system efficiency, reducing the need for frequent maintenance
  • Lightweight construction minimizes strain on your system’s components

How It Works

The BPU03A Brine Pick-Up tube operates as a critical conduit within your water softener’s brine tank. During regeneration, it draws the salt-saturated brine solution from the tank and delivers it to the resin tank where ion exchange occurs. This process is essential for recharging the resin beads that remove hardness minerals from your water supply.

By maintaining a clear and steady flow path, this pick-up tube prevents interruptions caused by salt buildup or blockages, ensuring your water softener performs at its best every cycle.

What to Expect

After installing the BPU03A, you will notice smoother regeneration cycles with fewer interruptions due to salt bridging or clogged pick-up lines. In the first few days, your system will operate more consistently, reducing the risk of hard water bypass.

Long-term, this component contributes to the overall durability and reliability of your softener system, minimizing maintenance needs and helping you avoid costly repairs or replacements.

What’s Inside

  • 3/8-inch Diameter Pick-Up Tube – Precisely sized to ensure optimal brine flow without leaks or blockages.
  • 36-Inch Length – Suitable for a wide range of brine tanks, reaching the necessary depth for effective salt brine extraction.
  • Type A Connector – Compatible with standard fittings for secure and leak-free installation.
  • Robust Polyethylene Material – Provides excellent resistance to salt corrosion and chemical exposure, extending product lifespan.

How to Use

  1. Turn off your water softener and drain the brine tank to prevent spills.
  2. Remove the old brine pick-up tube carefully, noting the orientation and connection points.
  3. Insert the BPU03A pick-up tube into the tank, ensuring the 36-inch length reaches the bottom where salt accumulates.
  4. Connect the Type A fitting securely to your softener’s brine valve or adapter.
  5. Check for tight seals to avoid leaks, then refill the brine tank with salt as usual.
  6. Restart your water softener and monitor the first regeneration cycle for proper operation.
