Blue Spot Water

Features :

• Capacity: 100 Liters (L) (approximately 26.4 US Gallons).

• Material: High-Density Polyethylene HDPE or other chemical-resistant, non-toxic plastic.

• Design: Seamless one-piece construction (often round or square/conic with a secure lid) to prevent leaks and contamination.

• Fittings: Includes a suite of internal components essential for brine regulation:

  • Brine Well: A narrow vertical tube that houses the brine valve assembly and prevents salt from interfering with the float mechanism.

  • Salt Grid / Platform: A raised plastic grid at the bottom of the tank to support the salt, creating a space beneath for the brine solution to form and be drawn out, and preventing "salt bridging."

  • Brine Valve Assembly: A float mechanism that controls the water level to prevent the tank from overfilling and ensures the correct amount of brine is drawn during the regeneration cycle (often includes a safety shut-off).

  • Overflow Fitting/Elbow: A port near the top of the tank for an external hose connection, designed to prevent water damage in case of overfilling by diverting water to a drain.

What does it do:

• Brine Solution Preparation: Stores a reserve of salt and water, allowing the salt to dissolve and form the highly concentrated brine solution NaCl needed for regeneration.

• Resin Regeneration: Supplies the control valve with brine, which is drawn through the brine well to clean the water softener's ion exchange resin (typically cation resin) and recharge it with sodium ions.

• Automatic Water Control: The float assembly maintains the appropriate water level for consistent brine concentration and prevents continuous water flow, offering overflow protection.

• Salt Storage: Provides a dedicated, protected, and easily accessible container for storing salt (pellets, granular, or block).

Good to know:

• Salt Bridging: The included salt grid is crucial for preventing "salt bridging," where a hard crust of salt forms, creating a void underneath and preventing the salt from dissolving into the water.

• Regular Refilling: The salt level should be regularly checked and refilled to ensure there is always enough salt above the water line for proper brine preparation.

• Color/Visibility: Tanks are commonly blue, white, or black, with some having semi-translucent sides or markings to assist with liquid level viewing.

Specifications:

• Volume: 100 Liters} (L) 26.4 gallons

• Material: High-Density Polyethylene HDPE

• Head/Cover: Secure, removable plastic lid.

• Common Dimensions (Example - varies by shape/manufacturer):

  • Round: 400 { mm} (Diameter) 960  mm (Height)

  • Square/Conic: 380mm X 450mm X 950mm W X D X H

• Brine Valve Riser Length: Typically 35 inches for 100L tank

• Connection Size (Overflow/Brine Line): Often 3/8 inch or 1/2 for tubing connections.

Maintenance:

• Salt Level Check: Keep the salt level consistently high to ensure proper brine saturation.

• Cleaning: Periodically empty the tank to remove any sludge, dirt, or insoluble material that accumulates at the bottom, which can clog the brine well and valve. This process is known as "brine tank cleaning."

• Check Brine Valve: Inspect the float and air check assembly for proper movement and ensure they are not obstructed by salt or debris.
