Start with the Best Quality
Salt/Water Mix Available
•Clean water: A water filter may
be needed at water intake
valve.
•Use Sodium Chloride Only
•Salt brine works most actively
when pavement temperature is
above 15°F
•Store salt inside if possible
•The purer the salt, the more
efficient the brine maker will be
and will yield better results faster.
Factor Value Adjustment
for desired Salinity
•30 minutes or longer to
reach 23.3% salinity
•Do not interrupt the
machine during startup
cycle
•4” to 10” Salt build-up in
mixing tank is normal
depending on quality of
salt.
•Start measuring salinity
15 minutes after salt flow
begins
System Maintenance
•Keep unit clean
•Clean eductor nozzles regularly
•Run CIRCULATE mode
periodically to prevent excessive
salt build up in the mixing tank
•Wash down with hose (fresh
water)
•Drain brine from system
•Grease all bearings every 10
hours
•Prime circulation pump on dry
startup
Basics of Brine Making

•Once the brine maker has sensed
the desired salinity the unit will
automatically transfer good brine
to the onboard storage tank
through the discharge pipes.
•Refractometer is required to
calibrate the desired salinity
Mixing Tank
Discharge Pipes
•In Batch Mode: the machine will stop
brine production when the rear storage
tank is full.
•In Automatic Mode: the discharge
pump will turn on when the rear storage
tank is full. The unit will continue to
discharge brine to an external storage
tank until the preset limit is reached.

•The Ambient Temperature must be kept above freezing or
significant damage will result
8
Set-Up
•The brine maker must be installed indoors, on a hard flat/level
surface, and in an area that is suitable for spray-down cleaning
with enough over head space to load the machine safely
•Damage caused by installing or storing in an unsuitable
environment may violate the warranty
•The brine maker requires a forklift with a minimum of 3,300 lbs.
lifting capacity and 72” fork extensions are recommended
•Once in place the unit requires a 220 volt AC single phase
connection and must be installed in compliance with all OSHA
and local laws and regulations
•All electrical connections must be made by a Licensed Electrician
and installed with a 50A breaker
