How It Works
The basket riser is installed inside the brine tank where it functions as a protective barrier that holds brine solution and salt in place while allowing clean water to flow through. By elevating the salt and preventing sediment from clogging the system, it ensures consistent brine draw during regeneration cycles.
This component works seamlessly with your water softener’s internal systems, maintaining a clear path for brine to enter the resin tank, which is crucial for effective ion exchange and softened water output.
What to Expect
After installing the BRT1050-53.6 Basket Riser, you’ll notice improved brine solution clarity and reduced sediment in your water softener system. Within the first few regeneration cycles, enhanced brine flow will help your system operate more efficiently, contributing to softer water quality.
Over time, this basket riser will maintain consistent performance with minimal maintenance, helping extend the lifespan of your water softener by reducing the risk of clogs and salt bridging inside the tank.
