Getting a water softener is exciting. They greatly improve water quality. In particular, a water softener mitigates the issue of hard water. Hard water contains mineral sediments, usually calcium and magnesium. You’ll need a water softener brine tank when you have a water softener. Below, we’ll go over the ins and outs of a water softener brine tank.

Why Are Water Softeners Important?

While it’s not dangerous to your health, buildup on your appliances and dry skin are symptoms of poor water quality. If you get a water softener, you’ll have fewer streaks on your dishes, and your appliances will be in tip-top shape.

What Is a Brine Tank?

A key part of the functioning of the water softener is the brine tank. The brine tank is the reservoir where salt and water are contained. It flushes the mineral tank and, through ionization, replaces magnesium and calcium ions with sodium.

Without the brine tank, there would be no water softener since the ingredients are in the tank. This is an important part of understanding the ins and outs of the brine tank.

What Are the Parts of a Brine Tank?

You should be aware of a few parts of the brine tank. You have the external tank itself that holds all the components. The brine tank has tubing that connects to the brine well. Then, there is a cap on the brine wall. There’s also the brine tank float or “float shut off assembly.” The water goes into the top of the float, flows down through the bottom, and fills the brine tank.

Your brine tank has a ton of fascinating functions. You’ll understand how water softening works by understanding what your brine tank does. We hope you better understand how it works so that you can get the most out of your water softener!
