How It Works
The BT1840-RB Brine Tank serves as the reservoir where salt is dissolved to create the brine solution essential for regenerating the resin beads inside a water softener. During the regeneration cycle, the brine is drawn from this tank and flushed through the resin, effectively removing hardness-causing minerals such as calcium and magnesium. This process restores the resin’s ability to soften water, ensuring your system continues to deliver high-quality, softened water.
Its round design promotes uniform salt dissolution and prevents bridging or salt mushing, common issues that can disrupt brine draw and system performance. The tank’s material and build ensure that the brine remains uncontaminated and that the tank withstands the corrosive nature of salt over time.
What to Expect
After installing the BT1840-RB Brine Tank, you’ll notice a more consistent and reliable water softening cycle almost immediately. Salt dissolves evenly, leading to efficient brine draw and regeneration. Within the first few weeks, you should experience fewer interruptions due to salt bridging or clumping.
Over the longer term, this brine tank requires minimal maintenance beyond periodic salt refills. Its durable build means it resists cracking or corrosion, ensuring dependable performance and peace of mind for years to come.
What’s Inside
- Polyethylene Tank Body – Provides corrosion resistance and structural strength to handle brine solution safely
