How It Works
The BRT1050-54-FR basket riser functions as a filtration barrier inside your water softener’s brine tank. Its fine mesh screen captures sediment and particulate matter before they can enter the system’s resin bed and valves. This filtration process helps maintain a clean brine environment, which is critical for effective ion exchange and softening efficiency.
By preventing debris from circulating through your system, the basket riser reduces the risk of blockages and mechanical wear, ensuring that your water softener operates smoothly and reliably over time.
What to Expect
After installing the BRT1050-54-FR basket riser, you’ll notice a cleaner and more consistent flow of water through your softener system. In the first few days and weeks, the fine mesh will trap sediment that otherwise might have gone unnoticed, improving the overall performance of your water treatment setup.
Long-term, this component requires minimal maintenance—simply rinse or replace the basket riser as needed to maintain optimal filtration. Its robust design helps provide dependable protection, reducing the frequency of costly repairs or system downtime.
