Brine Valve PN 3020511
Installation Manual
Thank you for choosing the GE Safety Brine Valve. For a
complete water conditioner system, a brine valve is
indispensable for system protection and regeneration, as
well as ensuring the best water conditions.
The innovative design of the Brine Valve provides safe and
reliable performance, and is suitable for household and
commercial conditioner systems. This manual will help
you better understand the structure and properties of the
valve and will guide you through the installation.
We urge you to read this manual carefully and refer to it
any time a malfunction occurs. The Troubleshooting Table
highlights minor problems that you can correct yourself.
Overview
The brine valve is suitable for household use. For a water
conditioner system, the brine valve has two principal
functions:
Air Check function - During system regeneration or a slow
rinse period, the brine valve prevents air from being pulled
into the resin tank, thereby ensuring the system’s
performance.
Refill Protection - “over-refill” may occur if the control
valve was set incorrectly or a system failure occurs. If this
happens, the brine valve is a protective device against
overfilling the brine tank.
Product Features
•Positive automatic opening and closing of the valve by
using vacuum or pressure.
•Unique mechanical structure developed according to
scientific principles providing the best reliability.
•Highly expandable interface with replacement
fittings, to coordinate different uses of the control
valve.
•Adjustments are designed for ease of use and fast set-
up.
•Flow control is regulated by the body. Brine valve is
suitable for most water conditioning systems.

Regenerant Tube Connection
The brine valve is compatible with a 3.5" (90 mm) GE brine
well, see Figure 1. The regenerant tube links the control
valve and the brine valve. Place one end of the right angle
elbow through the hole of the brine well. Slide the nut,
retaining sleeve and plastic gripper over the regenerant
tube. Insert the inner tube support and connect the
regenerant tube to the elbow. Finally, connect the other
end of the regenerant tube to the control valve.

Brine Well Installation
1. The brine well should be vertically installed in the
regenerant tank.
2. All connections should be manually tightened to
ensure a solid connection. DO NOT over tighten plastic
parts with a wrench, or you might damage plastic
components.
3. Set the postion of the brine valve float. The float
should be positioned 0.8" - 2" (20 - 50 mm) above the
brine surface level or as required for application.
CAUTION: DO NOT use petroleum based lubricants such as
vaseline, oils, or hydrocarbon based lubricants. Use only
100% silicone lubricant.
Operation
The brine valve will work with the control valve to
automatically control the water level in the brine tank.
Another unique feature of the brine valve is the ability to
adjust the top support. The top bracket can be moved up
or down by loosening the lock nut. Hand tighten the
locknut.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible Cause Solutions
No water refill into the
salt tank
Brine valve not operating Check that the brine valve is vertical and
moving freely.
Water flow is greater than 1.2 gpm
(4.5 L/m). Replace the refill control
washer with a smaller inside diameter
washer.
Check to see if there is too much air in
the resin tank.
Obstruction in regenerant tube or valve Inspect pipline, remove any debris.
Damaged brine valve Replace brine valve.
Excessive refill Seal leak or failure Check for debris on seal.
Replace the seal.
The float does not close off incoming water Float is restricted by the bracket. Raise
top bracket to allow more space for float
movement.
Damaged brine valve Replace brine valve.
System uses less brine
than the regnerate
setting
Air leak Inspect pipeline and repair leaks.
Regenerant tube is too long Be sure the length is less than 6.6 ft (2 m).
Brine valve is set incorrectly Check and adjust floater to appropriate
height.
Be sure the refill controller is an
appropriate size.
The check ball was pulled at wrong time Remove the check ball enclosure.
