BG16-4, Brine Grid, 16" Round, H1085-01

Optimize Your Water Softener with the BG16-4 Brine Grid for Enhanced Salt Efficiency

When it comes to maintaining your water softener system, the BG16-4 Brine Grid stands out as a critical component designed to improve salt usage and prevent sediment buildup. Unlike standard brine grids, this 16" round grid offers reliable durability and efficient brine tank performance, making it an essential accessory for any water treatment setup. Its robust construction ensures your system runs smoothly and extends the life of your components.

Key Benefits

• Enhances salt efficiency by preventing salt bridging and mushing inside the brine tank
• Protects your water softener system from sediment accumulation, ensuring consistent operation
• Durable design that withstands weight and pressure for long-lasting performance
• Easy to install and compatible with most 16" round brine tanks
• Improves water softener regeneration cycles for better water quality

How It Works

The BG16-4 Brine Grid functions as a support platform inside your brine tank, holding the salt above the tank bottom. This separation allows brine water to flow freely beneath the salt, preventing clumps and blockages that can disrupt the regeneration process. By maintaining proper salt distribution and water flow, the grid ensures your water softener efficiently dissolves salt to produce the brine solution necessary for softening hard water.

Installed at the base of the brine tank, the grid’s sturdy construction handles the weight of the salt while allowing sediment and impurities to settle below, reducing the risk of clogging your system’s valves and improving overall reliability.

What to Expect

After installing the BG16-4 Brine Grid, you’ll immediately notice improved salt flow within your brine tank, reducing the frequency of salt bridging issues. In the first few weeks, your water softener will regenerate more efficiently, optimizing salt consumption and improving water softness.

Over time, the grid’s durable build supports consistent performance with minimal maintenance. Regular inspection is simple and helps ensure your system remains free of sediment buildup, extending the lifespan of your water softener components.

What’s Inside

• 16" Round Polypropylene Grid – Provides a sturdy and corrosion-resistant base for salt, facilitating optimal brine flow
• Support Legs – Elevate the grid to allow sediment to settle beneath, preventing interference with salt dissolution
• Reinforced Mesh Surface – Ensures even salt distribution and prevents salt bridging inside the brine tank

How to Use

1. Turn off your water softener system and drain the brine tank if necessary.
2. Remove any existing brine grid or debris from the bottom of the brine tank.
3. Place the BG16-4 Brine Grid flat inside the tank, ensuring it sits securely on the base.
4. Refill the tank with salt as usual, making sure salt rests evenly on the grid.
5. Restart your water softener system and monitor the first regeneration cycle to confirm proper function.
