Salt Grid/Platform

The salt grid or platform is a critical structural component within brine tanks, designed to hold and support salt blocks or pellets above the water level. It facilitates controlled dissolution by allowing water to circulate around the salt, creating a saturated brine solution used in water softening, food preservation, and industrial processes. Typically constructed from corrosion-resistant materials, it ensures uniform salt consumption and prevents clogging in the brine system.

The salt grid elevates salt above the water in the brine tank, allowing water to flow through or around the salt. As water circulates, it dissolves the salt to form a concentrated brine solution, which is then drawn off for use in regeneration cycles (e.g., in water softeners) or processing applications. This design prevents undissolved salt from settling at the bottom, ensuring efficient and consistent brine production.
