INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
BRINE TANK INSTALLATION
The brine tank should be installed on a smooth level
surface. If none is available, the tank should be placed on
a smooth piece of exterior plywood and leveled by placing
shims underneath the plywood.
Make sure that the salt shelf inside the tank is level and
that the brine well is near to vertical as possible. The brine
valve oat is used as a safety overow and should be high
on the oat rod. It is not used to stop the rell. If the oat
is near the salt shelf, move the oat up near the top of the
valve.
Note: Brine valve assembly will not sit on bottom of brine
tank.
The 3900 Valve has a 1” 1800 brine valve. For the MGT-
240 to MGT-600, it is reduced to ½”. Connect the supplied
½” tubing from the brine valve in the brine tank to the brine
tank connection on the valve. Use the supplied tubing tee
to provide a connection to both brine tanks.
For the MGT-900 & MGT-1200 the brine line is ¾”. Using
the tubing supplied with the system, refer to the diagram
on the next page to connect the tubing.
After connecting the tubing on both ends, verify that the
brine line tubing is not kinked or restricted.
Run exible tubing (not provided) from the brine tanks over
ow tting to an appropriate, nonelevated, open drain.
Using a bucket or hose, ll brine tank with water to about
2” above salt platform. Do not add salt at this time.
Note: In the process of making brine for the rst regenera-
tion, the solution volume will increase (one gallon of water
will be 1.2 gallons of brine). The nal level of the liquid will
be several inches above the platform.
RECOMMENDED TYPES OF SALT
Only puried salt should be used in the brining system. Palletized salt (“Button”, “Nugget”, and “Pellet”) or block
salt (free binders) is recommended. Do not use granular salt, as it will fall through the platform screen. Rock salt is
not normally recommended. Most rock salt contains sludge-forming insoluble that collect on the platform and prevents
proper salt-water contact. Only salt containing 0.5% or less of insoluble will provide continued satisfactory operation. If
salt with more insolubles is used, the brine maker will require periodic cleaning.
