WSP 50x60" Brine Tank - Comm

After a shower, your skin can feel dry and your hair rough, a sign that your water softener’s salt tank isn’t doing its job right. When the brine tank fails to hold enough salt or the salt doesn’t dissolve properly, your softener struggles to reduce hardness, leaving you with less comfortable water.

What happens when your brine tank slows down

Your water softener relies on the brine tank to store and dissolve salt, creating the salty water needed to recharge the resin inside the softener. If the brine tank is too small, cracked, or clogged with salt bridges (hardened salt chunks), it can’t supply enough salt water for regeneration. That means minerals like calcium and magnesium aren’t rinsed off the resin completely and continue reaching your water. The result shows up as dry skin, dull hair, and scale buildup on shower doors and fixtures.

The control valve that keeps everything on track

This brine tank features a commercial-grade 494 safety valve that prevents salt water from overflowing during the regeneration cycle. It’s designed for reliable operation at higher flow rates, which helps avoid costly leaks or damage in busy systems. The valve also controls the water flow inside the tank to dissolve salt efficiently, ensuring your softener gets the brine it needs. You set the system’s timing through your softener’s control head, while this valve handles the brine side safely and steadily.

Salt storage built for steady support

Inside the tank, you store the salt that drives the softening process. The tank itself is 11 inches in diameter and 38 inches tall, offering enough room for a good amount of salt. That capacity makes it well suited to support a small home’s water softener system for one to two people or one to two bathrooms. The tank’s design encourages proper salt dissolution without leaving large solid chunks that can clog the system.

A tank size matched to your household needs

This brine tank fits homes with moderate water demand—think one or two people running showers, washing clothes, and doing dishes regularly. It’s not oversized, which keeps salt use efficient and waste to a minimum. For larger households or higher water use, a bigger tank might be necessary to keep up with regeneration demands without frequent refilling.

What you get and what happens next

The WSP 50x60" Brine Tank comes complete with the tank itself and the 494 commercial safety valve installed. It carries a lifetime warranty on the tank’s pressure vessel, giving you long-term confidence in its durability. The control valve and electronics have their own manufacturer warranties. You’ll receive free U.S. shipping directly from Tampa, Florida. Installation is straightforward for any licensed plumber familiar with water softeners. Once you order, our team can help confirm the right size for your system, so your water softener keeps working as it should.

Who this size is right for

This is rated for roughly 6 gallons per minute of service flow, which suits a small home - around 1-2 people with 1-2 bathrooms.

The number to match is peak simultaneous demand, not average use. Two showers and a dishwasher at once is the moment that finds an undersized unit, so size for that.
