Detailed Installation
Instructions
1. Electrical Outlet
The electric motor for the pump requires wiring to
220V, single phase, 30 amp circuit. This is not
pre-wired on the unit and should be installed by a
licensed electrician. It is important that the motor
must be wired for opposite rotation (red and yellow,
black and blue).
The digital salinity reader comes from the factory with
an un-wired cord to an electrical box. No switch is
provided from the factory. The digital salinity meter
converts to DC power and can be wired on either
220V or wired to a 110V, 15 amp circuit. We
recommend wiring the digital salinity meter into the
always hot leads so that the reader can be powered
even with the pump motor switch in the “off” position.
Reference our wiring guide here: Legacy Brine Maker

Plumbing to Auxiliary Tanks
A manifold bank of three (3) valves are provided with
each machine. This manifold system can be
configured to best fit your operation. A typical setup
will be explained below.
Auxiliary 1 Valve- Water
The valve situated at the far left of the manifold (when
facing the plumbing) is commonly designated for the
water source.
In the event that your facility possesses an ample
water supply exceeding 40 gallons per minute, you
have the option to connect your water directly to this
manifold valve. However, it is crucial to comply with
local regulations regarding the installation of a
backflow prevention device.
If your facility lacks an adequate water supply (less
than 40 gallons per minute), we recommend the
installation of a water float tank. This tank serves as a
reservoir, holding anywhere from 1,000 - 3,000 gallons
of water. By incorporating a float shut-off valve, the
tank can be replenished with little interaction prior to
actively making a batch of brine. The water stored in
this float tank can then be directed into the brine
maker manifold using a 2” hose and valve. This
arrangement enables you to efficiently and promptly
draw water into your brine maker.
Auxiliary 2 Valve- Additive
The valve situated in the middle of the manifold (when
facing the plumbing) is commonly designated for
blending additives.
This storage tank for additives can be plumbed to the
manifold using a 2” hose and valve.
See later in the manual for description of how
additives can be pumped out of the storage tank
through the manifold and out into the sprayers.
Auxiliary 3 Valve- Brine
The valve situated at the far right of the manifold
(when facing the plumbing) must be used for the
storage tank of the brine.
This storage tank for brine should be plumbed to the
manifold using a 2” hose and valve.
See later in the manual for description of how brine
can be pumped out of the storage tank through the
manifold and out into the sprayers.
Additional Auxiliary Brine or
Additive Tanks
Additional storage tanks for brine or additives may be
added to your storage solution. Poly fittings with ball
valves and tees can be used to tie common liquids
(brine with brine, or additives with additives) into a
singular feed line into the manifold system.
Reference this link for a graphic for an example of a
dual-brine storage tank plumbing configuration:
https://www.vsinnovation.com/collections/brine-plant-s
etup . Or reference this graphic for an example of an
additional tank plumbing to add other storage tanks:

Loading the Mix Tank Hopper
with Bulk Salt
Capacity: 2 yards of bulk salt (approximately 4,300
lbs.)
Note: Use only sodium chloride (salt) to create brine
in this machine. Do not use any treated salt products
in the making of salt brine.
For the first batch of brine you make you will start with
this step of loading the mix tank hopper with bulk salt.
Load bulk salt into the mix tank hopper using a loader
and bucket. Align loader bucket towards the center of
the hopper to avoid spilling salt over the hopper
extensions or directly into the belch pipe. Each batch
of brine will utilize between 1,500- 1,700 lbs.
Overloading the mix hopper can result in salt spillage
into the batch tank.
Note: For future additional batches of brine there will
already be some bulk salt in the mix tank hopper so
you can begin with the next step of filling the batch
tank with water. You will add bulk salt as needed at
this point.
Load salt slowly when there is already water in the
brine maker to avoid splashing or overflow.
Filling the Batch Tank with
Water
Capacity: 650 Gallons
1. Put the machine valve positions into Auxiliary 1
Water Fill Mode Valve Position (see earlier in the
manual).
2. Turn on the water supply and fill until the tank is ¾
of the way up the window, leaving room for salt
saturation and agitation.
3. Turn off the water supply and wipe up any spills.
Note: Opening the Agitation Valve, Tank Valve, and
Aux 1 Water Valve will speed up the mixing process
by agitating the solution while simultaneously filing
with water. Important: Allow the batch tank to partially
fill with water before turning on the pump motor to
avoid running the pump while dry. The pump will suck
air for a moment on startup.
