Salt Tanks

What a Salt Tank Does for Your System

The salt tank plays an important role in your water treatment system by supplying the salt brine needed to clean and regenerate the resin inside your water softener. Connected directly to the softener by a brine line, the tank sends saltwater through the system during the regeneration cycle to remove iron and hardness minerals collected by the resin beads.

Keeping your salt tank properly filled is essential for maintaining the efficiency and performance of your water softener. Routine maintenance and monitoring help ensure your treatment system continues operating at its best.
