How It Works
The BT1138S-C Brine Tank serves as the reservoir that stores salt and water mixture, creating the brine solution necessary for regenerating your water softener’s resin beads. During the regeneration cycle, the brine is drawn from the tank and flushed through the resin bed, effectively removing hardness minerals like calcium and magnesium from your water supply. This process helps restore the system’s softening capacity, ensuring your water remains clean and soft.
By maintaining a consistent brine concentration, the tank supports efficient regeneration cycles, minimizing salt waste and maximizing system performance.
What to Expect
Once installed, you’ll notice smoother water softener operation with fewer interruptions for maintenance. In the initial days, the brine tank will stabilize salt levels, promoting effective regeneration cycles. Over the weeks, you’ll benefit from improved water softness and reduced scale buildup in your plumbing and appliances.
With regular salt refills and periodic cleaning, this brine tank offers reliable, long-term durability and performance, helping you maintain a hassle-free water treatment system.
