Care And Use Of Your Brine Tank; Troubleshooting - Pentair Fleck 3200 Series Owner's Manual

CARE AND USE OF YOUR BRINE TANK

Each time the softener regenerates, salty water (brine) is needed to recondition the media in the water tank.
The brine is pulled from the salt tank at a controlled amount. If the salt tank does not contain enough salt, the
brine is weak, the media will not fully recondition and untreated water will pass through. To ensure the highest
level of performance of your water conditioning system, please observe the following:
• Keep the brine tank filled with salt at all times. The salt level should always be higher than the water level
in the brine tank.
• Only use salt designed for water softeners. Other types of salt (rock or snow melting) may contain dirt
and chemicals that will affect the quality of your water and the performance of your water softener.
• Keep the brine tank covered.
• Empty and clean the tank every three years.
