Important to Know
- The brine valve is forward and backward compatible and gets installed the exact same way the previous brine valve did.
- The new brine valve cannot be taken apart and cleaned.
- If the homeowner has a ferrule nut connection at the venturi, it is best practice to order a ferrule nut when preplacing the brine well. These can be challenging for customers to remove otherwise.
