Recommended Modifications to Sprayer Specialties SB 1400 Brine Maker

• Replace the 3/4 inch brine holding tank float with a 1-1/2 inch mechanical float. This will increase production and is more reliable. Valve part number 4664K52 from Sprayer Specialties. Approximately $125.

• Replace center mounted clean out in mixing tank with 3 or 4 inch flush mounted at end of tank. Replace bung with ball valve for drain hose to aid in clean out of system.

• Add overflow tube vents to prevent air lock in the tubes. Kit available from Sprayer Specialties $30.

• Add 2 inch elbows part number SE200 to inlet of mixing tank overflows turned down so screens are below water level line to eliminate plugging of the screens.

• Add three 4" x 34" PVC pipe roof supports down the center of the brine holding tank to keep roof from dropping.

• Add 4 inch perforated PVC pipe hydrometer well, with perforated bottom cap so that hydrometer can stay in solution to lessen chance of breakage.
