How It Works
The brine tank is an essential part of your water softener system, holding the salt that creates the brine solution necessary for regeneration. During the regeneration cycle, water mixes with the salt stored in the BT1138S-A tank to form brine, which flushes out hardness-causing minerals like calcium and magnesium from the resin beads. This process restores the resin’s ability to soften water effectively. The tank’s carefully designed dimensions and materials ensure optimal salt dissolution and prevent common problems such as salt bridging or clogging, maintaining smooth system operation.
