How It Works
The TDB1050-FMC Top Basket fits inside the mineral tank of your water softener system, acting as a barrier that traps sediment and prevents it from entering the resin bed. This helps maintain the integrity of the resin and promotes even water flow through the tank. By ensuring proper distribution, it allows the softening process to work efficiently, extending the overall lifespan of your system components.
Its design accommodates standard C-Series tanks, making it an integral part of your water treatment setup. The basket’s mesh or perforated structure facilitates smooth water passage while capturing debris, minimizing maintenance needs.
What to Expect
Once installed, you will notice smoother water flow and improved softener performance almost immediately, as the basket prevents sediment from disrupting the resin bed. During the first few weeks, your system will operate more efficiently with less strain on internal components.
Over time, this top basket contributes to fewer clogs and reduced maintenance frequency, helping your water softener maintain consistent output quality. Routine inspections and cleanings will keep the basket functioning optimally for long-term reliability.
