Brine Tanks - Kinetico Commercial Plus Series Technical Manual

Brine Tank
Required with a standard system is a brine make-up tank. These tanks will
accommodate loading of softener grade salt and provide water to dissolve brine into
a saturated liquid form.
Softened water is delivered to the brine tank by the control valve during the normal
regeneration sequence.
Brine tanks include an overflow connection to allow for a safety in case of tank
overflow.
Also included with the brine tank is the brine valve. The brine valve is used to adjust
the volume or brine to be produced for each cycle.
Central Brine System
For larger, multiple systems, a Central Brining System
alternative is available. This will replace the need for
multiple brine tanks when installing multiple units in parallel.
The Central Brining System has features similar to the
independent brine tanks; however, to accommodate
multiple systems, the brine refill is accomplished by a float
mechanism attached to the softened water supply outlet of
the system.
A check valve must be added to each softener on the brine
line for the unit to operate properly with the Central Brining
System.
Valve Modifications for Central Brining Operation
Depending on the CP unit selected, the Venturi Throat and Brine Flow Control may need to be changed. This
will regulate the amount of salt used per regeneration.
