Recommended Modifications to 1999 VariTech HI-CAP1200 Brine Makers

HI-CAP1200

  • Change percolation manifold to dual runner full loop design on 2 inch stands. Replace original hard plumbing to flex hose with quick coupler for manifold and stand removal during tank cleaning. (See Optional Modifications to VariTech Plastic Welded Brine Maker)

  • Remove original manifold stands from tank for easier clean out.

  • Move brine holding tank clean out to opposite end of tank from access hole to make the clean outs on the same end.

  • Add vents to overflow tubes to prevent air lock.

  • Add a protective shield over motor to pump drive to prevent injury from contact with rotating shaft.

  • Rewire pump motor from 110 volts to 220 volts to reduce amperage.

  • Add motor control to junction box to accommodate amperage to start motor.

  • Add forklift tubes to frame between tanks to aid in maintenance.

  • Replace frame when it gets rusted out with stainless steel from manufacturer.
