The Cope Company Salt recommends a coarse crystal salt be used in the AUTOBrine® System. Types of coarse water conditioning salts can be Solar Salt or White Crystal Southern Rock.
Cope also offers pre-mixed brines for every application, depending on which AUTOBrine® System fits your needs.
Why Is This Type of Salt Recommended?
Maximizing brine production and efficiency, the coarse crystal salt extends the life of the internal pump used in the AUTOBrine®.
What Occurs When Fine Crystal Salt Is Used?
Fine salt is apt to cake, forming an almost solid block. When this happens it reduces the surface area of water to salt contact resulting in:
Reduced saturation of the brine, typically 50-60% saturation
Reduced efficiency of the brine solution
Less than optimal regeneration of the water softener resin
The size of fine crystal salt may allow it to accumulate in the pump, causing damage
Do Certain Industries Require Specialized Salt?
The Cope Company Salt has many pharmaceutical, laboratory, and food/beverage processing facilities that use the AUTOBrine® System and utilize non-food grade bulk coarse salt to produce brine for water conditioning systems.
In many cases, when conditioned water is used as an ingredient or in a process, there can be additional purification steps applied, i.e. RO, DI or other filtration or polishing methods.
