Brine Valve PN 3020511  
Installation Manual  
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.

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.  
Seal:  
Chlorine/Chloramines  
resistant silicone rubber  
Regenerant Tube Connection  
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.  
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.  
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.

Troubleshooting  
Problem  
Possible Cause  
Solutions  
No water refill into the Brine valve not operating  
salt tank  
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.  
Replace brine valve.  
Damaged brine valve  
Seal leak or failure  
Excessive refill  
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 Air leak  
than the regnerate  
setting  
Inspect pipeline and repair leaks.  
Be sure the length is less than 6.6 ft (2 m).  
Regenerant tube is too long  
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.
